There is a
virus out there but it is not trying to get to your hard drive but your
inside and outside.
& you can never completely rid yourself of this virus but you can be
a more or less hospitable host.
& sometimes
there is nothing you can do about it, and those
may be just the times when it seems most urgent to imagine
that you can do something. (There is a pleasure, also, in delusions of
this kind: not of grandeur but of agency.)
But because some things are beyond redress it does not follow that every
circumstance is without recourse, nor every case without prospect.
