Verisimilitude of a High Order

Yesterday I bought a really big television set. The great thing about it is that it is soft, pliable and very, very thin, so I could fit it all inside my cubbyhole of an apartment by pasting it on the walls like wallpaper.

I popped in a Kiarostami DVD and wow was I impressed !!!

It wasn't just the life size images; I could actually walk around the movie-set listening to the director's small talk between scenes. I even shared a drink with the cast and crew. Indeed this is verisimilitude of a high order.

I topped it off by hopping into the camera crane and squeezing in right next to Abbas. I tapped on his nose and poked at his beard while he worked but he merely smiled at me. He really is a nice guy.

Sorry, didn't quite get it. Maybe you're too smart for me to understand or maybe you just REALLY love your TV set or maybe you're high (..or maybe I am and I don't even know)
