Ben Affleck’s dangerous knowledge of this guilty secret drew unwelcome attention.
Unaware of the breadth of this surveillance, Affleck nonetheless more
than once found himself brushed by a heavy hand.
During an evening walk he was suddenly surprised by an unusual
bright light that appeared to fall on him causing his whole body to tremble.
Assuming he was having a heart attack, he hurried home and lay down,
not knowing what to expect.
After a while, the light that filled his whole body went away,
and Ben Affleck felt himself moved, not by his own will
but by a different impulse from within himself.
He wondered what could be moving him so strongly, but
since he felt calm and conscious he just followed the motions
as they developed.
Poetry insists on this illusion,
(even the most sensitive apparatus always leaves something
to be desired) - forcing it, breaking it,
embodying it…
we shall see what strategies enjoyed literary
currency in this regard.
