\\n
\\nWe might begin with description.
\\n
\\nOr we might begin by deconstructing the act of describing.
\\n
\\nWait. No, not there.
\\n
\\nLet\'s jump in AFTER the deconstruction.
\\n
\\nLet\'s leap beyond a statement of topic, let\'s hurdle clear of mundane declarations of the audio file\'s length, and together plunge headlong into metaphor, the icy water perhaps calling to mind Archimedes, as we describe our episode (or any other thing) not in terms of its intrinsic attributes, but by taking account of what it has displaced into the spaces it doesn\'t occupy.
\\n
\\nHow long does the displacement remain? How might one apply paint to the emptiness after the thing has left?
\\n
\\nWhat color is silence that follows the end of the episode?
\\n
\\n(An end which follows twenty minutes and thirty-three seconds in which the four of us discuss the kinds of words we imagine when we say "poetic language.")
