#167 Reconnaisance without End


      for Márton Koppány & Nico Vassilakis


One should conceal
the fact that one
is an adept, said Mr
Behoover to his
Hungarian friend, &
that it takes an
endless supply of
lifetimes learning
how to become one.
Don’t advertise. Adopt
a slightly eccentric but
innocuous code of dress —
1920’s bourgeois with
its coats & sticks &
bowler hats is good —
then join a self-focused
group like Cloud Gazers
Anonymous where every-
one’s heads are lost in
them & no-one notices
if you forget your-
self & start to levitate.
