The light switch in the kitchen of the imagination is reversed: OFF is up and ON is down. Before beginning a gumbo in an imaginary kitchen, you must turn the overhead lights off. Only when the kitchen is nice and dark brown can you visualize your ingredients. There on the counterspace is an imaginary onion next to an imaginary knife. And in the sink in an imaginary bowl is a pound of imaginary shrimp. Opening the door of the icebox turns a tiny light bulb off, darkening a stick of oleo, allowing you to find it. Closing the door of the icebox turns the tiny light bulb on, as far as anyone can tell.
