His mind is engaged in a rapt contemplation

Of the thought, of the thought, of the thought of his name:

His ineffable effable

Effanineffable

Deep and inscrutable singular Name. —T. S. Eliot

Yes! Yes yes yes, so fun and well written, but also you captured how i've felt as a Trilety. It was tough as a fat kid to have a unique name so i went by all other names, even asked everyone to call me Rachel for a year at like the age of 8 or something. Then it was all Tril in my teens and early 20s. Then at 24 or so, i started using my full name Trilety Grau Wade - always thought i'd marry a McGillicutty to really seal the deal haha

Big respect, comadre. Love your story. As they say in my family, "one has to imagine being Futzbucker".
