Blank Inside for Your Message
You are free to say anything.Of course, it can and will be held
against you. You should know
the rules before we start. I once
saw cotton silt and snow float
in the sky at the same time. God said,
This is everything. I watched until
the sky became clear again instead
of dotted with all the happiness
the world contained and all my sorrow
that didn’t know where else to go.
