The curved eye wants to fit into the sky. Even in the snow, even in the

water. It's a Midwest low-line, a report heading toward belief. Outside.

I am no more stupid now than I ever was; I am the same.

The end of tomorrow is no further away than it ever was.

If no one had occasionally moved them, or fuelled them,

the end of our todays would be frozen like a field of old bolts in their military silos, and wouldn't that be a kick

in the flowers for all the earthshaking dreams that caught us.

Wanted: a few good men and women who won't do their jobs.
