Simply that you say one thing or another might give one pause to contradict, but making it so doesn't denote your purpose. You are a lamb, a hayrick, a hat trick, an abutment, something like an old cartoon, or something that carries mixed things over unmixed roads—I like that, I see the way the weight's set down, or lots of them, each equal to the other, and each just as carefully too. The land sprawls and which way, the buildings sidle, warp, and that’s useful, good—it keeps them up. Haven't you seen how solidity's a kind of unleashing of self-containment, pure interaction, and each distance covered pure, purposeful on the surface? You say: Surely one thing denies its opposites? But this is an abyss. Knowing, caring, pleasing: these things exist (what a trio to possess!) and it is more than you can do to argue otherwise. 8.16.68 -BILL BERKSON
