Carried: Deafness
“I'm at the edge of the room taking notes on people who assume I'm not really here.”
The position is the one at the margin of the exchange — present, attentive, not inside the flow of talk that everyone else swims in. This entry holds it as a vantage rather than a deprivation: what is learned from the edge is different in kind from what is learned in the middle, and it accumulates into something with teaching in it. That framing is not a claim about causes; it is what the pattern holds about the position. What the shape asks for is the vantage put to use rather than endured.
Tiresias, set apart by a sense taken away and credited afterwards with knowing what those with all their faculties could not. The form implies a task: to speak from the margin rather than only to watch from it.
