Cafe At The End Of Time (4.5)

I finally understood what it was about Natricia’s name.

It bombarded me like a shower of coconuts….and, it

was quite simple really….but since if I write more words

it might be better for me, I’m going to do that….

T.S. Eliot taught the concept of the “objective correlative”,

which was that words could be put together to completely

capture an experience so that an other person reading those

words could have that exact experience….well….

My “objective correlative” for the name “Natricia” is

that it is like an article of clothing where the stripes  are not

vertical nor horizontal, but at a 45 degree angle. I haven’t

seen many pieces like that…only owned one shirt myself…

but it is true that, aesthetically, there is something not quite

right about that, as there is something not quite right about

the name: “Natricia”.

So, that’s a lot in a name, and I am in no way suggesting

anything about the person “Natricia” that relates to the

name….although. oddly…and somewhat snarkly, it does…

although Natricia masks her great wisdom and beauty in

sarcasm and shock….she’s a work of art in a name….like

“Beefheart”  and “Zappa”….it’s not just PTS…it’s a

living.
