Denouement

The magnitude of possible repercuss-
ions may depend upon the number of 
visible stars in the sky or, if it's day, on
the numbers of birds flying in a part-

icular direction. It's an infinite response,
but it has to do with finite things — what
we count, what we count on. That
probably can be counted as a platitude —

or a plateautude if you think the Earth
is flat or are, perhaps, a critic of Pierre
Joris' poetics (though those might be

the same thing). So challenge yourself
by solving this giveaway 20-piece jigsaw 
puzzle. First ask yourself: why is it free?
