ONYX AND SCHOOLING
All things being equal, the sky is
black at night and the educated
man says nothing. A few thousand
stars make little difference either
way. Now I have you; now I don't.
-
Like the coating on wax paper :
distorting the clarity of what gets
wrapped up. Who cares so little
for distorted mirror images? Me?
-
Me? Who threw my bicycle into
the sea and went home carrying a
pail of mussels? Who stopped in
West Long Branch to eat at the
saloon and drink at the diner?
-
Not so soon kemosabe; your
chemical condition is inebriating
the doors and windows. The sky is
black at night, and the educated
man says nothing.
