Scrolls are eternal. Plum trees are not. Laura S&l.wet I know you and didn't plan on it. In fact, I wished for something to destroy this union before I could say this: I predict you. I have graphed the rise and fall of your dreams and failures. Where would you likethese measured, jagged edges to lead? But the wise know not to question, in earnest, the answerless man. So I silence my warnings and let you be a hole cut out of Bugs Bunny's concert hall floor, piano falling in D minor. I don't shout from the audience. Never has an usher gagged me or escorted me to the street to finish my cries. Cryto your horror screen: Don't you see the manwith the knife? Don't you sense the road will split and become two choices? Not one. While you lay your hand to the Sistine Chapel in your chest, paint spilling to please Pollock but the creation scene all wrong, I do not tug at your sleeve.
