Read, remember
In Fool's Crow, James Welch is very clear but is yet to detail where anyone shits (twice there's been pissing, just outside the tent). The Sun Chief festival gathers every Pikuni clan, White-Man's-Dog fetches water from a nearby stream and drinks. Where has everyone shat during this gettogether?
Someone Kelly on memory techniques in Aeon online. You can walk around the block and remember every country in the world. Oral memory and transmission is a skill, but traditionally it is restricted. For too many cooks spoil the broth.
Bentleigh Market, lots-of-make-up lady, people don't buy things they buy memories, she says. Box of cowries and snail opercula "Lake Chad" - card game markers, some painted read (sorry, red).
Messages in The Wolf Children passed from Santal village to village, date and gathering place of annual hunt, are via knots on a string. Once read, each chief makes sure that the correct number of knots, ie date, remain. Maharajah sends out message that gets Chinese-whispered into a WWI recruiting drive, prompts riot, memory knots on string get banned.
Places I can remember after they have been demolished. Op shops in Ormond, Au Go Go records in Malvern. The cream-bun bakery in Glenferrie road. Little Brown Jug cafe. When a house is demolished, look at the flattened block, what was there before?
Writing kills memory. I sit at my bulldozer computer and obliterate what just went on then tell the story at dinner tonite. Invite Walter K. Ong, see if he can recite a facebook algorithm.

post metaphor
Though there's no such thing
slug mail sounds a bit violent
like it hits you
Uglier less likeable
but just as slow
bullet baseball bat bourbon
its mucus is stickier
trickier to wipe off
than this letter
