Original Meaning

I tunnel and scan in and out of statutes and precedents, dislodging bits of semantics and syntax and propelling them against other particles extracted from other statutes and precedents, and, instead of finding clarity in the results, I find more anomalies. Reasons for further experiment? or evidence of a leaky apparatus? Either way, the deeper I go, the less things stay still. I test each new harmony, but like a piano chord struck with the sustain pedal depressed, if you wait, and listen, you can hear what begins as seeming euphony dissolve into thick streams of harmonics and shifting, sympathetic dissonances, turbulent jets of interference, eddies of minor stability, a brief, vaporous hiss, then - silence.
