On the Arrangement

The order of filing does not imply precedence. A wire bulletin and a burning motel may share a page number; a manifesto and a field note may speak to each other across the gutter. The reader is invited to enter at any door. The magazine, like the road, is constructed not of sequential logic but of the conversations that arise between people who happen to be moving in the same direction.
