8-5-93 Literal Literary Vacation

     As soon as it's over, there'll be one huge sigh of relaxation, tinged with stretched nerves and wide eyes, asleep to the world.  This, too, shall pass. Shaddup.

     The upholstered table was splashed with a black and white pattern combined with red and yellow dots.  The jade green lights glowed like spirits upon the surface, surrounded by odd condiments, and even odder silverware. The music was extremely quiet, all the more so because everyone present, right down to the bartender and front cook, were utterly silent.  The kicking beat and feel-good tunage made for background motion influence, and mild irritation after two whole minutes.

                We saw a cloud today
                   that took us to places of past and never,
                we couldn't look away
                   and now we fear 'twill last forever!

At the bottom of the page there was an odd script I could not read?

  1. And here my foolish editor (me) begins to indent paragraphs the way that they actually appear on these pages.
