XXXVIII.

 

-The report is that crows will be sighted in the roadway, people are raven.

-Very droll.

-They predict tomorrow in the morning, and already onlookers are

gathering. Some are camping out in Prospect I hear. They've got cameras.

-It's a rare chance. Let's go there.

-Uh-huh. Do you think we can get up in time.

-For crows in the roadway, we can stay awake all night.

-Maybe, umhn. Do you know the way.

-Well, I know, but knowing and following - I am easily distracted.

-I am distracting you now.

-It's a distraction of a divine nature.

-Tell me about the way.

-There's a steel viaduct. It is pale green, a green seen through a thin

film of powdery white barely molecules wide. Orange brown rust has

crackled itself through the green dressing the girders at bolt margin with

shagg-ed baubles trailing stains down their sides.

-Your knowledge of local topography has me completely overwhelmed:

I must kiss you.

-The map is inside me, and I am in it too my own map, it needs only to

flick the pause button off to set the frames in sequence to begin a way.

To your kisses, however, and their following, no way is charted, each

embrace a mistake unreliable needing another reading. What is the

circumference of a circle. No one knows. It is always falling. It is not

even there at all. An idea, a generalization of a sequence of random

points. No. not points. Just a way of moving.

-You have a way of moving.

-Master told me that too.

-Where is your master now.

-Gone. I think sHe got lost along the way.
