After Life
"I am!" said Chatwin shouldering his leather knapsack.
Sedentary lives are self-destructive and I, bearing scars, have a
horror
of the unleashed BLACK DOG.
I follow lightning-bolts now to the darkest cave where DINOFELIS
(le
sorcier noir) devours his prey. The Prince of Darkness is a
gentleman and holds my skull between his jaws as, dreamily,
without awareness of pain, I expect my death.
My footsteps will be blown away.
SHRODINGER'S CAT has a potential existence, but does not
exist
until observed.
"Would YOU like some SAUCE?" the waiter at SIMPLE
dimpled, his
smile as wholesome as an all-day vegan breakfast.
"Poodle!" Missy hissed taking no prisoners or sipping snakeoil.
NEPHILIA-SPIDER makes a golden-silk dragline with a tensile strength greater than steel lest its enmeshed victim escape.
The desert seduces, but its realities are harsh and unforgiving;
one
ventures into it at one’s peril.
The heat in the cavern (The Ear Of Dionysus) at Siracusa
cooled as the
sun set. Thousands filled the chipped tiers of the TEATRO
GRECO
to watch AGAMEMNON. Stars shivered as the watch-tower lookout cried; "Praise the gods, I see the beacons! Troy is
taken!"
Through the central black tunnel mouth, revealed when the
creaking
rusty shutter lifted , a railway wagon shunted; the sides
slammed
down, and thousands of muddy soldiers' boots poured out.
Every day somewhere boys end their sixteenth year. The
catalogues of
ABERCROMBIE, FITCH and GANT are works of LOVE.
