... imaginary rock
(whateveryoucallit)
You can call it the externalisation of inner life and time
for that's how I think of it
says the caretaker without apology
(thinking of Immanuel Kant's description of time
as the the form of the internal sense and of our internal state)
because what anyone says is real
in the sense that it was really said, and done,
by one who is enough to authorise what s/he says and does
though to repeat that is something else
if repetition is mistaken for sameness and for truth.
The purpose of the imaginary rock is to question
the reality of things that are presented as unchanging
law or theory, mechanical illusions,
as well as to support the reality of what is not.
The rock is thus a changing centre, not a fixed one,
that can be recreated in any place at any time
simply by saying so.
