unable to obtain purchase on this situation. some else’s city. the perspectival hints, but does reflect, as Frankfurt did not reflect and as Hamburg did. the old country is too oppressively close. In the faces of strangers, the faces of friends; apophenia – the mistaken recognition of pattern in chaos. In the same sense though, I would not wish to return to the suffocating closeness of corkonia, with all of its insidious tentacles, blindly probing and grasping at every last shred of autonomy. away now, recidivism allows them back, thwarting anticipated psychic peace.
