" all that a world could be, no matter what,
is, somewhere, in some way.
fullness of possibles, consistency.
no matter which talking head, mine
for example, adjacent to my body
and
why not
against my face, the angel's, the black shadow face itself,
but all the seats are taken, all the worlds
unavailable
to you. "
― Jacques Roubaud , Plurality of Worlds of Lewis
