Every
book has its end.
This
banal statement is
not banal at all.
It
is tricky, insincere,
false, untruthfully.
Can
a book has an end?
Does
the cover really
finish, close, separate, cut anything?
Yes,
the cover does
finish, close, separate, cut something.....
It
cuts the story just
being told, no matter what kind of a story it is.
Cuts
but doesn't finish.
The cut rope gets two ends.
But
this is not the end of
a rope – it is only the end of the rope's part, rope's segment.
Cutting
the rope doesn't
make the cut segment disappear.
The
cut only disrupts the
continuity.
The
segment's end is not
the rope's end, unless there is one of these two very special cases:
when
we cut the ends of
the rope.
But
if the rope has ends,
it means it is but a very long segment.
There
are books which look
as if they have the end, but they don't.
When
we get to the very
last page, this turns out to be the very first one.
So
what?
So
nothing.
This
is also a segment,
nothing but a looped segment.
And
such a loop, a
circle-ellipse link, pretend to be endless, infinite.
If
this is the truth,
that books are just words in a kind of a superbook, while words in
them are a kind of subbooks,
then the matter of the end looks even
more nasty.
Here
we should ask what is
the book's end: the very last page? or maybe the page's edge?
The
page's edge would be
the story's end, a precipice where this story falls and crashes into
pieces.
Or it jumps into this abyss and begins to fly. Just then it
flies beautifully.
Flies
and flies in the
endless, in the edgeless sky - - - - - - - - -
it's enough to look beside
the screen
and you can read beautifully and endlessly
well, you can also turn
back and retreat but is it worth doing so?
