Kimmie is practically a hippie compared to you, wears peasant blouses and patched dungarees, ends a lot of sentences with the word “man.” Is that a rhetorical question? she asks, laughing a bit more than is warranted, handing over a small ceramic pipe.

It could be, she says, but in itself it just means how you get your point across. You’ve now got a buzz on that prevents a real understanding of what “in itself” means here. In itself, you say out loud, and then it starts to ring around in your head, with added visuals, you picture same things in same things, books inside of books, pens inside of pens, pipes inside of pipes inside of pipes, infinite same things in infinite same things. Whoa, you say, a minute later or three hours later, one of those; neither of you has even a remotely accurate perception of time right now, and if you can’t understand the concept of rhetoric you definitely can’t understand the concept of time.
