2098. THE CANTILEVERED RAINBOW

CANTILEVERED RAINBOW
You have no time and all the boundaries are gone;
troops are massed at the border. The skirmish you
last read of, it has already happened, a long time
ago. The posters are up and your name - though
quaintly misspelled - features prominently in
this morning's mission. No one really knows a
thing - but that's never stopped fervor before.
-
All the things that never were, have already
happened; and all the things happening now
never were before. It's that simple game of
fetch and truth - making things up under great
silver moons and skies of many suns. Look about
you, even the ripples on the water and the leaves
on the trees - some stupid prophet has said - are
numbered with the loves of all the Gods. I count
my fingers again, just to be sure. So many things
change so quickly that one should never be
complacent about anything at all.
