as I see it yes.  locating events/subjects in such a timeline (however 
abstract) allows us some focus and clarity in a discourse where 
words/language refer to too much/not enough.

nope.  in the sense that "what we are talking about" becomes formed, or 
"there"  -  we all perceive the same subject, and agree upon it 
linguistically.  but that slip in language is what I am getting at.  
(there is also "conrete poetry" for example.  how do we relate the two 
different forms?  how does this metaphor work?)

these "questions" I am posing are rhetorical and open ended.  I am 
looking for some sorts of answers myself, and am sure there are more 
than one.
