Peter Scibetta lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.
A. A violent order is a disorder; and
B. A great disorder is an order.
These two things are one.
-Wallace Stevens
Looking for the order in a great disorder:
in between the lines
in fortuitous acts
in the fog of incidental reality
in the confusion of thought
in the motion of life.
the motion of no steps
taken on the path that cannot be seen
will lead to that which is hidden
from each of us/in its own way
hidden only from us
for it is only us who are seeking it
and it is we who do the hiding
