Vision
-Couldn’t sleep last night, so I
studied the shadows on the wall
and ceiling.
-Mysterious!
-Just the single nightlight in a floor
socket, thus they’re huge!
-Great! Intriguing!
-So...I puzzled out...that’s a bookcase,
that’s an inner shutter, and that’s…
-Long story short?
-I could draw you a detailed diagram
right now! Case utterly solved!
-You have taken mystery and turned
it into you?
-I suppose.
-Longer I live, more I’m cheated!
-Sorry! Next time I’ll leave half

-Leave something!
-What gods get angry if I don’t?
-All of them!

maintains Stelly’s younger sister.
“Hey!” Clifford laughs, “you just
find your moral and economic

“How about Love?”

“It’ll care and won’t care.”

“But the limo awaits!” Chubby adds drily, pointing.
They’re nowhere in the usual church rooms, so a search
party forms.
Chubby ultimately confides to Bridesmaid, Helena
Markham Dillars O’Malley Insull, that he thinks
they vagued themselves into another dimension.
“I wish they took this shitty dress with ‘em!”
Salmon and nearly florescent.
“Yes,” he remarked sagely, “everybody has to go through
things the right way, no matter what.”
“Well that includes them two! I’m stopping. My shimmers
are bouncing off the Bible pictures on the wall, and giving
me a headache.”
“Funny how we affect the environment.”
“Hah hah!”
