Time and the War are in cahoots. Old folks still awake at midnight, naked
beneath their cheap swaddling watch the clocks whir ever faster and know
"conspiracy." Their end is near.
--------
(134.2) and the numbers go whirling toward the Nativity, a violence, a nova
of heart that will turn us all, change us forever to the very forgotten
roots of who we are.
--------
The Nativity is where we've been and where we're going. It is Birth and it
is Death.
We might think of the Nativity as the horizontal origin line, the zero-line,
in the x-y chart of a life's parabola. It starts at the horizon, goes up
then back down, and disappears gain at the horizon. But imagine it
following a similar path beneath the horizon, eventually to re-emerge and
continue on like a wave. If we were able to see the path across the
zero-line of three peaks of the wave, two above the line and the one
in-between below, you get the face of Kilroy, eyes peeking above and nose
hanging over that line...
