brute fact/institutional fact
millions of tiny slippery plates

1. A Forgotten English calendar page. “Pain in the head arising from changes in the moon.”
2. The Penguin Dictionary of Philosophy. “Brute facts, like volcanic eruptions or the number of electrons in a hydrogen atom, do noot depend for their existence on human conventions or institutions; institutional facts, like those involving money, property…etc., do so depend.”
3. A bottle of Johnson’s baby powder.
4. A Dilbert cartoon. “All I’m saying is that it might not be a “yoga” class.”
