“. . . memory is less like a movie, a permanent emulsion of chemicals on celluloid, and more like a play—subtly different each time it’s performed. In my brain, a network of cells is constantly being reconsolidated, rewritten, remade.” The Forgetting Pill, by Jonah Lehrer at Wired
that trickster
fickle * elusive
sometimes appears
on cue * sometimes
not * he forgets
his lines * he ad-libs
he ignores
the script * the plot
the point * the dramatic
arc * he saws me in
half * reassembled
i am out of order
that rabbit * that dove
are not what
they seem * those
mobius scarves * ever-
changing colors * pulled
from his magic hat
sleight-of-mind * illusion
deluded * i reappear *
disassembled * confused
hypnotized * i am that
rabbit * that dove * un-
knowing i am not
what i seem
