Not born in the Year of the Dog, ... Nor the Year of the Snake, ... Nor any other Year, ... But the Year of the Spot... A Year so diffuse, it spills out over the edges of the cosmic calendar and confuses historians, ... Who cannot tell when it starts ... or if it ends ... In a museum, ... in a diorama of the Past, ... visitors look, behind, a glass, ... at the Year of the Spot... In the upper-left corner of the composition, ... A flicker that eyes can’t firmly hold — It feels as if staring at the sun.
