-- The Reverse Side -- The reverse side also has a reverse side—Japanese proverb It’s why when we speak a truth some of us instantly feel foolish as if a deck inside us has been shuffled and there it is—the opposite of what we said. And perhaps why as we fall in love we’re already falling out of it. It’s why the terrified and the simple latch onto one story, just one version of the great mystery. Image & afterimage, oh even the open-minded yearn for a fiction to reign things in— the snapshot, the lie of the frame. How do we not go crazy, we who have found ourselves compelled to live with the circle, the ellipsis, the word not yet written. — Stephen Dunn —
