…in the Dosoton era, there was too much crime…too many wanted to think for themselves…these criminals did not subscribe to the Revealed Doctrine…just too many who wanted to think for themselves…and our prisons and streets and homes were overflowing with these criminals…finally, the Revealed Doctrine Order decided: send these criminals out to space…they want to think for themselves? Let them find out what it is to be on their own, forever… I’m covered with clear plasma… …living in a ball…there are tubes into my mouth and tubes out of my posterior… I float in this private world; I can often feel the wobble… I’m never hungry; I never thirst or feel the need to attend to any ****** functions… I think I’ve seen the 2 suns pass (or is it the other way round?) 3 times…so it may be 3 days…6 days?...or years? Sometimes I see a planet and its moon… Never earth….I do not see it here…it is not here… Where are we? We had 1 sun in our system, didn’t we? There are 2 here… Sometimes I see the others… Like the other time…a day ago? A year ago? My circle floated past a moon, and there heading in the opposite direction was another circle…and it was a woman… …her flesh like paper and white, naked, her ******* stretched, another tubed being like me; and we passed each other…our circles almost touched… I saw her face: her eyes were dead; her face was as of sand…I felt for my fingers tried to wave, tried to smile… there was nothing, and there was nothing in her too… she passed; she is the past now… and I have seen others too – just once…how was it like? Who was it? – Wordsworth? That poet? His words come back to me that I had once found in a neglected tablet while on earth and that I memorised: *“I wandered lonely as a cloud That floats on high o'er vales and hills, When all at once I saw a crowd, A host of golden daffodils; Beside the lake, beneath the trees, Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.”* Yes, it was like that: my bubble passed a planet and there, right before me, right before was a whole host of them, each in their bubble… O I wandered lonely as a cloud That floats on high o'er vales and hills, When all at once I saw a crowd, A host of golden bubbles In each a naked being, man or woman; Between the moons, between the planets Bobbling, wobbling, shuddering in space And that was just a brief while… And each bubble headed off in a different direction If there is a direction… And there is just infinity… And bobbling, wobbling, shuddering alone in space…
