Had it been fried in the Great State of Texas, had it been taken for
dead, whilst in fact but taking a taxi ride through the eventless
streets of dreamless unconsciousness, due to that last call called for
and drunk at The Sailor's Syncopic, had it been flogged and saddled to
that late ghost horse still running, all bets off, betting slips
scattered to the winds of Kentucky, had it been stripped and whipped and
left to rot in the parching winds of the Western world, the last bone 
picked clean, the last vultures uncircled, their last supper eaten, had
it been the last savior crucified on the last stick  atop camel back
hill, till a riotous throng of gnostics worshipping Judas harvested its
bones, it would still closely resemble the very same. 

But it was a productive resurrection. 

Not sure about the everlasting life of this discussion of the
discussion.
