THE APOCRYPHIST’S CREED
If it’s questionable:
print it.
If it’s in poor taste:
print it.
If it further befuddles an already incomprehensible world:
print it.
If it encourages the reader to believe that there is more than meets the eye – even (ESPECIALLY) if the truth is likely that there’s less:
print it.
If it casts unfair aspersions on those individuals past and present who had the good or bad fortune to be framed long enough in fame’s aggrandizing lens that we can recognize their names:
print it.
If, in doing all of these things, it bestows upon our minds the sense of innocent mystery that we experienced as children, when there was a troll under every rock and a dragon behind every cloud; if it allows a bit more wiggle room in the confining closet of reason; if it, even for the briefest moment, throws the space-time continuum a mere nanometer out of whack:
for G-d's sake, PRINT IT.
