Semi-Daily Scribbles

Dear Mesmeric Cleric,

Please stay out of the light, away from the spin machine, and off the sticky track. It's so much better that way for both of us. And just so you know, you are right when you write: "The work must speak for itself." I agree on all seven levels. I don't need to see your knees or teeth or sunburn or bad haircut or pale blue eye to know you are a skilled trick whistler who leaves listeners listless after the last twist of the tongue. Hey, I'll admit it. I Am One. I speak what I don't know in hope of you coming one day to show me. I promise to look the other way when you do.

Yours in all false modesty,

Fanula
