there is a piece of the pie not

one of the ingredients and i know

close your eyes as the jig comes up as the role goes out in the tide and swim in the rivers shivering under water while the otters bank their sticks and shake their tricks and whistle while they workload

*) the profound certainty that you are young and that the right path is there for the finding with a little effort and attention

as if to say they couldn't cut
it when the point would better
be to cut it out -- doubt eats

will impact me -- and you -- in ways
you cannot yet imagine
