The quintessence of nothing we have known kaleidoscopically flashes for- ward, and we are taken on a visual trip through Now-and-AlwaysLand. Prismic colors glued to dust stretch across the tightrope horizon of our cerebral cortex. Movement has been temporarily suspended -except for ours-and we glide over and slide under the old, plashing breakthrough-like into the forever Now. And we keep our cool. We always keep our cool. Instant images ricochet off our impressionistic and form question marks. But we extend our arms upward and spit out motion points, for we are Now and Now is what Is. We Be, and being demands assertions - so we must now assert ourselves and cast aside our chewing gum.

Outside it is summer. The nothing ' s every- thing is in full bloom, and we are educated to the reasons How and Why and learn to answer with Because but soon realize this is not what really is and all is fraudulent but not anymore. And now, for the second time since the world ended, we are made inwardly con- scious of our own hypocrisy and decide that before the Fall we must become semi-colons. It is a long and arduous odyssey, but we are willing and begin through tradition and remem- brances, stepping up to artificial imitation and striking at the gong of originality. A few of us reverberate. We are on the move.
