Baside
Beside
Biside
Boside
Buside
Baside is the main reproductive organ of the
champignons homobasidiomycètes. Biside is a very well known brand of baby seats
and blankets. Boside is theblast name of Dr. Neil living in Riverside, CT, USA.
According to one of his patients: “Dr. Boside is quickly asks the right questions,
doesn’t waste time on the wrong ones, and is kind and personal”. Buside stands for
the Bloomberg Silver Subindex Euro Hedged Daily, I don’t need to explain that I
think, but it’s doing pretty well in the stock market today.
Makes sense no?
Now what about Beside? I think you missed Beside!
Oh no, don’t remind about it, Beside is big trouble.
Coming from the Old English be sidan
it always meant: Being at the side of. But Beside let me ask you something, if
you are always at the side of things: Which side are you on?
The moment you look at one side of things, Beside is
at the other side. Elusive, deceiving and not very clear this Beside is.
Beside is by the side of another side, who is at the
same time the side of this first side that stays by it’s side.
Beside is never visible because there is only one
visible side of things. One shows itself while the other don’t.
Don’t even try to look for clarity in Beside because
it might already by your side.
Juan Pablo Plazas, 2018
