Nick Moudry
The proper perspective
Our chief occupation – from a
               position not quite central – is
to send them off wildly
               in any direction without explaining why
that particular path was
               chosen. Lines
converging and crossing. A 
               course in mathematics would
not be so much wasted as
               beside the point. After
all, an entire city 
               can’t believe in chemistry, can
they? Therefore I felt
               justified—by
virtue of the law—in reducing the 
               world to a skeleton. The
first mistake is 
               to assume every
dialogue is argument.
               I need money. Reduce, 
reduce, reduce sounds more
               alluring then any
purely stated idea. I suppose
               we are just fighting off boredom.
The effect is the penetration
               that is used exactly as
if the force moves through it rather
               than turning back inward I hear.
[for Kerry Tribe]
