Dear Chopsy,

Take a look at this guy in the rear-view mirror. I mean he's not in the mirror, but he is in my perception of what this mirror is. The mirror to me is this guy, but not to you. But take a look at him. Don't turn around, he'll know that you're watching. Now that you look at him in the mirror, my mirror is your mirror. It is the mirror in which you can see this guy, if you are looking at him all but directly. A visual field in front of you that includes something that is not in front of you is a protracted form of reality, subjective, and therefore a protracted form of yourself. Of oneself. And this is something I can share with you. Among other entoptic phenomena, the most overlooked may be purely eye contact. This I attribute to the subtle intensity of the gesture; a concept easily misunderstood and underestimated. We are not talking about looking back on things.

Sincerely,
Psycho

I'm starting to see things in the noise of things that are not the things themselves.
