Brilliant Steely Dan reference. That alone makes me smile - but I also enjoyed (as always) your Oulipo-inspired outings! In this one it's almost like you were channeling Lonnie, after he swept the playroom ....
Thanks, Terry, for the rejuvenating Steely Dan. 1973. I was never more alive than I was in 1973! When I think about it, I am living only a half-life now, my sell-by date long long past. At least I am alive to remember and reflect. A lot of my contemporaries are not. Interesting time loop, my friend, in several ways.
A multi-day loop! For some reason I always imagine a 24-hour cycle. Not sure how you’d realise it’s still Wednesday morning when still so disoriented in the middle of the night. Definitely different. And I’m hoping the idea didn’t arise from you running into the wall AGAIN!!! Take care Terry. All the best.
First question: "Where am I?" Second question: "What's the matter with me?" Love the music videos, too. Experiments in Style is one of my fave Susbtacks to read, by the way. 😀

This version made me think of the movie, Groundhog Day. And maybe on its way to being Pulp Fiction?
Classic and great song by Steely Dan! I don't know a huge amount of their work, but certainly no this one.
Not sure what specific questions are being raised.
Does the loop go on forever? Is that one of them?

Ground hog day, the movie comes to mind, time loop. Then dream repetition continuation until a problem is solved.
