the show

This is the time of year when the obfuscations fall away. The dazzling show, the mirage of leaf upon leaf upon leaf upon leaf, multiplications pointing towards infinity-eternity-roundness and three-dimensionality - undresses - and what is left, revealed of branch, trunk, and especially roll of ground, seems plainly two-D: impoverished, disorienting and surprising. That's all that was there?

Time to undress, take off that brilliant show, get basic. Prepare for the next role.
