I have a red plastic pen capped at both ends. Which end do I uncap? Does it matter? (Yes. No. I do not know.) Only one end I can write with, though, if I crush the other, ink will flow out just as easily. Bleed. (Red ink is only red ink.) There are letters, symbols, in white along the side. I do not read them. You cannot trust words. (Words form lies.) Still, which end do I open? (Do not allow the pen to remain capped. Have courage; you need to do this.) I decide to cheat. I close my eyes and grab the pen and flick one of the caps off with my thumb. Which one is it? (Time to open your eyes.)
