could happen.
had to happen.
It has happened before. Later.
Closer. Further.
It happened not to you.
Have you saved because you were the first.
Have you saved because you were the last. Why
alone. Because people. Why
left. Because right. Why
rain. Why shadow.
Because the sun was shining.
Luckily there was a forest.
Luckily there were no trees.
Fortunately, a rail, a hook, a beam, a brake,
a frame, a curve, an inch a second.
Luckily the water floated a razor.
Following, as yet, despite himself.
What would happen if a hand, a leg,
one step at a hair
a coincidence.
So are you there? Straight from the soul still ajar?
The network had only one hole, and you from there?
There is no end to my astonishment, when I keep silent. Play as
your heart was pounding.
