254. STARS AMID THE ALLIANCE

STARS AMID THE ALLIANCE
Startling aperture; an awakening into the eye
of a God. The unblinking awareness of tumbling
dice upon a glass-covered table. Appearances seen
as rolling forever - off the notion, past the edge of
anything, and over the falls of contagion.
-
I swear I saw that ham-fisted man coming at me again.
This time he had knives and a fork, not just the loaves
and the fishes. Maddening to a fault, I sat down
and decided just to listen. Flagstaff Arizona could be
no better than this. Not to worry - every meter was
filled with coins, and each spot held even
more than a car.
