This piece carries an example of incomplete language acquisition, affected by comprehension gaps arising from language attrition during early childhood.

Incomplete Language Acquisition & Comprehension Gaps
There was an issue with [sowing], that fused with the Turkic root [ek]. The meaning didn't solidly fuse when I was a kid. I thought it meant to plant a seed, or to add something extra into something, but it fused with the act of sowing. The word came from my mother. I sense it must've happened during act of planting seeds. That's how it remains in my body memory. I can't recall the actual event. I only remember how the meaning for [ek] fused with the physical action of sowing/planting seeds into a pot of soil. I estimate this happened when I was around 2-3 years old.

Divergent Meanings & Lingering Confusion
The dictionary lists a menagerie of meanings for [ek]: joint, seam, scar, addition, an added piece, annex, appendix, supplement, additional article. The meaning that almost clicked was [an added piece], but not in the context of adding water to a recipe. Adding water into a pot, to make soup--still sounded like a request to plant (or sow) water. The meaning for [ek] didn't quite connect with concepts like [joint] or [seam]. In English, the problem with [sowing] persisted with [sewing], resigning with a sigh that sounded like [SO WHAT`ing?!!!].

the dreadful case of piano chopsticks
will it ever end?
with the weight of a(n) hydraulic press
into the form of a dust pulverising'inator
a call for «just (sow) water»
a nothing but sludge, it-would-be
parading as a form of >>> concrete
that no glue could hold
not much value for a ceramic glaze either
just a form of cannon fodder
without substance
or another spack-filler episode
with your greasy hair
what's left of it, that is?
with your wayward combover sweep'ification

Captain's Log, Post Mortem Report [20240917_0916]
Selami alley fakoomies c/o ma's [ Ananın Piçkası, Ananın Örekesi ve Babanın Tenekesi ] tuğra efsane party window and James Bond's 6.5kg Husqvarna chainsaw. Don't forget to pack your angle grinder, because the coconuts are too hard to crack open up this way. We do have a spare 5'inch & 9'inch you can borrow, if needed - but it is better to bring your own one for plug & play. See ya, TA! ~

~ The abojuice was strong during this time. The lexicographic charting of this period was intense. I was stranded on my own, with a chainsaw that got locked up. Fortunately, I got lucky finding the right angled-wrench for the repair job inside James Bond's Mini Bunning's shed. Poor design meant we had to own over 2000 different proprietary tools just to loosen screws and bolts.

Geographical Scanning : Saw-Milling Town Syndrome Detected
All that remains. Can't remember if the sawdust penetrated at this point. Was there a saw mill? Oberon was the Twin Peaks end of town. Same kind of saw milling town syndrome. Malignant wood chemical trails lurked in the buried bush, like the creepy house with no stairs, located south of the Yellow Box Cabins. There's no need to dig fox holes in bush like that, because the animals will take care of it over-night. There was vague memory of getting angry with something GOP'astic at the time, who had a combover. Although the climate & elevation was ideal for migration during summer, but it was another bed of clay. No solid rock to build here. Recurring flooding events continued to wash their roads away overnight. They failed to maintain their roads and continued to believe this was a civilisation.

CHECKSUM: seek-track terrain 1100m above sea level. The climate offers respite during summer - no need for air-conditioning. Disadvantage - significantly shorter sowing window for growing produce compared to temperate environments, ideal for cold-climate fruiting trees but high risk of spring frosts that can kill a whole season of trying. It's still good for cold-tolerant plants. Not worth the effort for building infrastructure on clay, unless you can design your roads & homes to float like the adobe abode boats in Vietnam ~// abort.

Cultural Heritage : Recollections of Concrete and Ceramics
There was a reference to >>> concrete and ceramics connected to my paternal grandfather from Kütahya, who had a fascination with examining the concrete of ancient ruins that had lasted for centuries. He often criticised how the concrete of his time wasn't as durable. During this period, I was also working with ceramics and felt the same frustration, thinking «They don't make things as strong as they used to». The Australian glazes seemed weak, decaying like plastic or brittle polyurethane that would shatter in my hands. My work with ceramics here, made me feel connected - because of how Kütahya also had deep cultural connections to the craft.
