When the typewriters happen to pause
(8:20 and other mythical hours), and
there are no flights of American bombers
in the sky...
These lines from paragraph 2 of section 3 never fail to remind
me of:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:815watch.jpg
And, while not a perfect fit with the time, if the hands of the watch
had
not been stopped so abruptly they would have made 8:20, pointing
to the 4 and 8 respectively:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Noble_Truths
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eight-fold_path
The path to an entirely different sort of Nirvana.
