Reorientation

The process by which the brain makes the world seem sharp and steady is a complex one- and easily disrupted. A couple crystals shift in the inner ear, and everything becomes a tilted blur.



                                                       Reorientation
                                            Vertigo lets us know
                                             what’s really going on:
                                             stability is an illusion,
                                             certainty masks confusion
                                             as the whole world spins
                                             spins, spins one man’s dusk
                                             into another’s dawn.
