“1001 Time Formations”

Yesterday was lovely, test-driving multi-focals in
a workshop, copying from Dr Streetmentioner’s
Time Traveler’s Handbook delineating 1001 Time
Formations

While the academic professor explained the corpus
of a language, statistics of repetitive words – “the” is
way ahead of all the others – I stared fascinated at
descriptions from further future or further past

Most readers give up at the Future Semiconditionally
Modified Subinverted Plagal Past Subjunctive Intentional
I could see why, this tangle is meant for the stout-hearted
only, boldly I traversed amazing formulations:

*“Milliways, the restaurant at the end of the universe is
(wioll haven be) enclosed in a time bubble, guests take
places (willan on-take) and eat (willan on-eat) while
watching (willing watchen) the creation explode

You arrive (mayan arrivan on-when) without prior (late
for-when) reservation, you book retrospectively (on-book
haventa forewhen presooning returningwenta retrohome)
you meet and dine (mayan meetan con with dinan on when)

With all kinds of life in space and time, you can visit often
(mayanon-visit reonvisiting) – with Douglas Adams as my
guide, such an academic exercise becomes riveting…
