Do you remember my recent visual disorientation: not being sure whether I was moving? Here’s an example of a similar phenomenon. This time, though, I think it’s deliberate.

On Tender Hooks
- by Brian BilstonLet me cut to the cheese:
every time you open your mouth,
I’m on tender hooks.You charge at the English language
like a bowl in a china shop.
Please nip it in the butt.On the spurt of the moment,
the phrases tumble out.
It’s time you gave up the goat.Curve your enthusiasm.
Don’t give them free range.
The chickens will come home to roast.Now you are in high dungeon.
You think me a damp squid:
on your phrases I shouldn’t impose.But they spread like wildflowers
in a doggy-dog world,
and your spear of influence grows.Posted: 2025 Apr 20

Stunning! The only way I could stop the spinning sensation was to focus on the ground-level exit, which clearly disgorged moving people without knee-capping them. I am dizzy simply recalling the image. My brain cannot let go of it!
Laurna – You’d think that knowing it’s an illusion would help us shut it down – but not so much!
Laura:
Thanks for the hint to stop it. Looking at the exit did stop the bottom layer for me, but out of the corner/top of my eye, the rest kept moving!
Jim R – 🙂
Isabel – thanks!! I think???
John – 🙂 IKR?
Brilliant!! Good way to gaslight first-timers on seeing it. Moving? What do you mean?
Barbara – Hahaha. Yes, that would drive someone crazy.
