That's what I'm after, as many meanings as people want to throw out for
consideration. I thought that since the Tarot gloss Otto brought in
was so illuminating, for me anyway, of a hopeful interpretation of
something rather bleak sounding, the same Tarot source might the soul
of someone other than preterite me to that stone over there....
It wounds my sense of decorum to think that P might have just thought
something sounded cool and rilly, like, deep and all, and just stuck it
in because because. On the other hand it works like that, doesn't it.
What do I know, I'm only bitch-slappin
