In the morning before eating, you’re on the defensive, you manage somehow not to know things you really do know.
[Simone de Beauvoir]

“When I was six I had a chicken that walked backward and was in the Pathé News. I was in it too with the chicken. I was just there to assist the chicken but it was the high point in my life. Everything since has been an anticlimax.”

DO YOU REVERSE?
