§10
Think of intersubjectivity as an inverted cone
the apex of which
interfaces with the pure (imagined) subject
and the base with the (imagined)
transcendent
Morality functions in a space coextensive
with the cone’s volume
not limited to any
cross-section
Think of intersubjectivity as a Klein bottle
in which
the objective and subjective
fill each other
Morality functions so long as
flow is maintained and
cannot be delineated in terms
of ‘real’ space
Think of intersubjectivity as
a pattern of light that
appears when invisible wavelengths
at the extremes of the spectrum
interact
Morality consists in the pattern’s aesthetic
Think of intersubjectivity as a
jazz riff that begins
as random noise before
gaining rhythm from tensions
between the polars
of the bass and clarion
Morality consists in maintaining
harmonies
Think of intersubjectivity as a poem
that escapes the boundaries of its own form
to rumble, wobble and weasel its way
into the whirl of you and I
Morality consists
of our foxtrot through its beats.
Don’t think of intersubjectivity
Morality is the kiss of invisible threads
without which we would fall forever.
