Each new march into battle stomps the surface further into a sphere, every defeat, leaves a battlefield behind and a future frontline is projected closer towards the horizon. The board of the game is now laid down and strategy, skill, chance and luck will continue to choreograph and twist the fate of its players. Their relation spells out a political dimension that sets a potential for conflict in motion. A speck of light unfolds a line into a surface, the surface lends itself as an actionable space between two ends. Their gallant gallop invades my mind and my thoughts easily wander off to join their crusade.Īt first there is darkness. Presumably bearing no casualties, returning troops would surface from the distance, signaling a heroic victory with fluttering flags that would spell "0 K.” on the horizon. The more interesting but less probable explanation tells me it derives from Civil War soldiers carrying signs for "zero killed” upon returning from battle, making it a misreading of 0 K. However, in common vernacular it carries connotations of something rather nondescript, we tend to use it to signify quite the opposite a state of desolate dasein. A quick search tells me it derives from ‘oll korreckt’ a misspelling of ‘all correct ’ a kind of satisfactory or acceptable quality suggesting things are alright. There are probably more stories about the origin of the word than there are uses for it. I’d like to say that I am but OK can mean many things.
