all shook up
by Dennis Scharnberg
How do we find out what happened? Say, yesterday? Or this day in 966 A.D. in the city of Rome? All given methods are inadequate to the task. And even if there were some degree of adequacy in method, we could never impede the onslaught of interpretation: “What did it all mean? What, oh what, did it mean?”
