lacuna

weve put together a series of measures to ensure that those people who want to watch the cricket are not disrupted by those who are simply there to have a good time

imagined or predicted tests

the version of the epic of gilgamesh clara reads with modern loves full of lacuna

ands made up from all sorts of tablets giving versions of the text

the repeating lines with a word changed here and there have thick action

thiss countered by continual sudden moments of nothing no tablets complete and all tablets together are incomplete …

giving lacuna

edgbaston was full of lacuna already all cricket moves with the thick action of repetition for all broadcast matches this thicknesss multiplied by replay technology
