The small minded

Ultimately there are entities (concepts, signs, drives and people) who need you more than you need them. They have a tendency to focus, selfishly, on short term objectives that are aligned to their meaning. Don’t let emotional attachment to their regime on reality keep you from progressing.

About the Tailor

I'm an economic immigrant to the city, where I worked as a tailor for several years. I originally tried to sell traditional, religiously compliant clothing, but with cuts and styling that, in retrospect, were correctly deemed suspect and inappropriate by my target demographic. I also tried my hand at teaching fashion at the institute, but wasn't particularly successful at that either. By the end of last year, my business was foreclosed, unprofitable. I ceased trying to make garments for people. Instead, I realised, these the garments, and, yes, their trade and valuation within the capitalism underlying the city -- these garments are what makes me. I am no longer, never was, a tailor -- I am, precisely, a tailoring. I am a tailor's doctrine, being tailored.
