“The long tentacles of vision and understanding have withdrawn and all that is left to me is the ragged black hole of my loss. Loss and the world around. A noisy puzzle whose solution is another puzzle noisier and more stupid. The circle widens toward nothing.

(From, The Seventh Horse And Other Tales)

Go Absurd! Exercise:

“Goal! Goal! Goal!”
