Horizon Lines

You ain’t seeing what I’m seeing on the horizon of this new year.

I ain’t saying what I’m seeing on the horizon of the new year.

I ain’t writing about what I’m seeing on the horizon of the new year.

I ain’t skewing the horizon line of the new year.

I ain’t setting to skew the horizon line of the new year.

But eventually I’ll tell you, and then I’ll write about it, and then you… you will… you will skew the horizon line of the new year.

Horizons are meant to be horizontal as long as you look at the horizon in a particular way.

I ain’t looking at it in that particular way.

What I’m Reading:

“Why is it we speak of unreliable narrators, but not of unreliable readers? A reader freely judges the author, but the author is not allowed to judge the reader. Except, of course, in the Bible.”

— Mary Ruefle / “A Half-Sketched Head”
