A WORD TO THE WISE

never get caught in its snare.
Remember, the only acceptable case
for being in any particular place
is having no business there.

...the holy men sat in an atmosphere
reeking of antiquity, so thick with the
dust of ages that you can't see through it
--nor can they.
No matter what you do, someone always knew you would.
