TONTIN COFFEE HOUSE
(1793 - Corner of Water Street
and Wall Street - 2012)
Where to this : then praythee
listen? 'The system of probables
invented - we are now told -
by a newly displaced God?
Are you naturally crazy man?'
-
'God exists, or God does not
exist. Where is the problem?' -
or so Simone Weill put it, right
before she starved herself to
death. And, yet, here we sit.
-
The soldier comes in, stinking
of pigs and shit. He seems so
very nervous, agitated with
his musket and hat : 'Th-they're
out there, tt-they're in t-the harbor
n-now! M-More yellow th-than gold,
l-like the piss of G-God's own Army!
I see color b-before me running!'
