(english 633)
“if a negative of a photograph
can be reproduced numerous times,
there is no authenticity.” a laugh
track can be looped, an indefinite rhyme
creating a false folly. critics &
connoisseurs agree. authenticity –
truth or mere facts or slowly shifting sands
or some kind of rare reciprocity
of reason – which is to say we now know
the difference between subtle persuasions
& passive invitation. & so
negatives, copies, PDF files;
literature always travels the miles.
