What you make is.
And is what you are.
Choice is an answer
to no problem presented,
no question posed.
Horses.
It’s all equestrian around me.
Who rides who?
And to what end,
and from what beginning?
Horses.
What if?
What if it’s reordered,
and the end looks a lot
like a, like a beginning?
You ever seen a herd move in a field?
You ever seen a particle?
How about a field for particles?
When you see the herd,
do you see the herd or the horse?
Well, it’s all horses to me.
10⁸⁹ of them.
What did you make it:
herd or horse?
