A green light shone and like ectoplasm lay over Yesterday’s intuition of the future. Tomorrow suspended in the wriggling fate of jelly before colloidal dawn. it transformed when Tomorrow leaked out and became an animal of almost ravenous occasion. hungry for blood certainty. A tooth fanged for the squalor of success without colon for the enemy of despair. I was there when Jesus Christ transmuted miracle into a happening. when Freud proclaimed: Dreams are the crumpled chickenscratchnotes in the fist of all beginnings. when Charlie Parker played Stravinsky to Stravinsky at Birdland. when Borges transcribed those notes. and heard Cervantes laugh. When Woolf confounded Odysseus, and found Homer, oldcouragebearded, grinning on the other side of three millennia. Was I there before the green light. yes, we were all there.
