This piece ranges (in its material of origin, that is) from nondirective psychotherapy to North. That's pages 1162-1163 in the Merriam-Webster Collegiate Encyclopedia. I am amused by the ski-jumping soprano and the commando units of verse.... (Aleatory, by the way, means "random," but with a lovely new collection of letters.)
Any random variable
A sapling. A king. The ritualistic gibberish of mathematicians and shipbuilding. Such words sound purposeful, hence parallel or culturally related. Yet any random variable works to release fragmenting language, rational or allegorical. The shaman’s appetite for sympathetic stimulation served as a great barrier to the idea of a single correct passage. Nicknamed “The Great White Shark,” the mythological guardian (imposing, exceptionally displeased) held many titles—whale hunter, airborne commando, ski jumping soprano. A fragile resistance encourages him. His father was imprisoned by unwritten nonsense, taken prisoner by hyperbolic geometry and forced to abandon the possibility of deviation, its furniture of dispersed data sets. The classic bell curve of career money winners, reigns, meaningless revolts threatened him. He “would rather be right” than discover an alternative parallel, postulate a new North Sea. He focused on religious ceremony, its whimsical marriage of the comic and the ornamental at the nerve endings of a relativity puzzle. A voice as opposed to a projected reputation for money laundering or tendencies toward recklessness. Now any given course is hyperbolic. The goal is to disburse commando units of verse. Axioms and stalled words derived from them (nymphaeum, vassalage, neurotransmitter) go unwritten. The goal is pilgrimage, rebellion. Pick a number. Program the aleatory.
