The universe is not only stranger than we supposed, it is stranger than we can suppose

Songs of salvia.
As you listen to the canticles
you start to feel imagination
itself observing you.

not all misdirection is camouflage.

see and be seen… be seen and be eaten,
disappear or be different, and you might survive.
