LET US GO THEN YOU AND I WITH THE EVENING SPREAD OUT AGAINST THE SKY BENEATH THE MUSIC FROM A FARTHER ROOM A MINUTE COULD REVERSE SO HOW SHOULD PRESUME TIME FOR MURDER TIME TO CREATE NO TIME FOR QUESTIONS DROPPED ON YOUR PLATE SHOULD I PART MY HAIR BEHIND AFTER THE SUNSETS AND THE DOORYARDS AND TURNING TOWARD THE WINDOW THAT WASN’T IT THAT WASN’T IT AT ALL IT SEEMS ALMOST RIDICULOUS INDEED AT TIMES THE FOOL WOULD IT HAVE BEEN WORTHWHILE? WOULD IT HAVE BEEN WORTHWHILE?
