The Prophet Returns
Here is the chart, the diagram of our intention,
falling suddenly to a lower position.
If the blind shall lead the blind, both shall pass
into the ditch.
We are created half to rise
and half to fall.
I did not have sexual relations with
that woman.
I could of course have concentrated my efforts
for the second ballot on wining over
the back-benchers directly.
Then the communists took power and the peasants
never got what they wanted.
...is there no place
left for repentance, none for pardon... ?
Oh we are slain in the spirit again
–but for angels, there is no turning back.
quotes from The Bible, Alexander Pope, William Clinton,
Margaret Thatcher (memoirs), and John Milton
