What’s there to talk about?
On one hand, I just make the space money. I don’t feel I have to talk about it too much beyond describing the process of making it. On the other hand, I like to talk and write about stuff I’m interested in.
I mentioned what I called space money’s “sociality” in a previous post. Sociality is the tendency to group together, so I’m not sure I used the term correctly, but perhaps it’s evident what I mean. “People like to socialize via space money” is perhaps another way to say it.
But there’s also an emphasized physicality in space money, because it is hand-sized. You handle it and it has textures, and there’s a sound when you run your finger along a space money’s surface. Several space monies rustled together sound like thick dry leaves. Every space money has metallic/pearl paint and those portions are highly reflective. Moving (turning, waving) a piece of space money near a light source produces a micro light show in its high-relief shiny painted surfaces.
I have distributed space money to a state ethics committee. They had many questions, some of which i could answer, yet I chose to answer none. I do not see myself as a mere space money broker, but as a procurer, selecting space monies based on an ineffable je ne sais quoi, a 7th sense that allows me to pick the right space money for my clientele (known, as-yet-unknown, never known, or forgotten), much as I spot buy precisely the right trout for a particular parton, its scales gleaming and dead mouth agape, at the dawn fish market. By “agape” I mean “open,” not “self-sacrificing love.” I don’t swing that way with trout.
