you can't tell me anything, Universe. I ask you I ask you I press the fate button. and you shut your coy little lips and say no no don't look no peeking- I'll just be behind this tree trust me, you'll like it- just take another step forward. yep, keep going. But see, How? how do I know you didn't paint a trompe- l'oeil of a pit just beneath my toe tips how do I know whether I'll fall into a cave or wind up in an office? Just open that door. I want to look into the hall maybe peer at your houseplants the radiators and doorknobs of the future. just some spoilers. then I'll leave you alone, I swear I'll turn off the lights, tuck in and just keep walking on til the end.
