7370. MYSTERIES OF THE STANDARD-BEARER

MYSTERIES OF THE 
STANDARD-BEARER
I wind up standing here in my stolen
venture. Just staring out, to wonder,
now, where I've been. The piano-roll 
is gone, and the church-key the big-wigs 
have lent me has gone missing too. It seems 
I can't do anything right. The newspapers 
mis-quote me, and then they correct the errors 
again incorrectly. How does it all count for 
anything? I don't know. I'm standing in the 
wind at Sea-Bright, looking forward to an 
intimidating day at the death's head casino; 
listening to Roy Orbison, and the 
sounds of the lakefront wedding.
Our lady, Queen of the Sea.
