Usual or Unusual?

You tell me.

We think of something we consider “usual.” It’s basic. We imagine it a certain way.

We think of something we consider “unusual.” It’s not impossible or unprecedented. It’s just a little different. It’s inherently hard to imagine.

But don’t we feel, sometimes, that something is usual and unusual — the same thing, at the same time?

Yes. We do.

And that the usualness or unusualness is in our perception of it?

Of course. It is.

It is multiple things.

It is mutually inclusive.

It is simultaneous.

It works by superimposition.

It is thoroughly usual.

It is magnificently unusual.
