““But please remember, especially in these times of group think and the right-on chorus, that no person is your friend (or kin) who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow and be perceived as fully blossomed as you were intended.””

Today's Poem

In Case of Complete Reversal --Kay Ryan

Born into each seed is a small anti-seed useful in case of some complete reversal: a tiny but powerful kit for adapting it to the unimaginable. If we could crack the fineness of the shell we’d see the bundled minuses stacked as in a safe, ready for use if things don’t go well.

Fog-thick morning—

I see only

where I now walk. I carry

my clarity

with me.

The tree azalea overwhelms the evening with its scent, defining everything and the endless fields.

Walking away, suddenly, it slices off and is gone.

The visible object blurs open in front of you, the outline of a branch folds back into itself, then clarifies—just as you turn away—

and the glass hardens into glass

as you go about taking care of things abstractedly one thing shelved after another, as if they were already in the past,

needing nothing from you until, smashing itself on the tile floor, the present cracks open the aftermath of itself.

Musée Miniature & Cinéma

Before special effects went digital with CGI, part of the magic of movie making included artists laboring over tiny scaled-down sets, creating little worlds that look totally real until a normal-sized human hand appears in the scene. One museum in France lets visitors explore over 100 such sets, each standing out for its incredible realism. At Musée Miniature & Cinéma in Lyon, you can gaze upon these miniatures as well as a collection of over 300 full-scale movie props.
