Do Not Forget the Whip!

The allusion to Nietzsche may be read with the emphasis on "do not forget", then end in some word, any word, that will convey the vague shape of a particular link. "Do not forget the fragments of life, because these, and only these, can be made into something layered and continuous", as though Zarathustra might have, in his cryptic way, proclaimed. Let us have scattered memories, then, random thoughts, a diffusion of perceptions. Let us not be vociferous in our confabulation of the good and bad things of the past, lest they be memorably cemented onto the future and be lost to us. Do not forget the silent starry galaxies, as they tear away from you. They carry the word. Risk the impossible if you would: do not forget the whip.
