Yeah. You're the best off
if
ya ain't born, and second best
if
ya die young. So saysJesus.

But that's what it says in the book.
Yeah.
VII FUTURE AND COMMON SENSE

I got no crystal ball.
Right, since ya been lyin' down a week.
It can't take no longer than that.
Takin' too long. is it?
It's stupid. Did yasee somethin'?
Nothin ' .
But it's not there no more . I can feel that.
There was nothin' ta see. Take a look yourself

I believe ya. One should never lose hope . Perhaps it just
broke up .
How?
Everythin' breaks up in a soap solution .
Only in brine.
Also in brine.
But ya should be able ta see somethin' .
Then we'll just wait 'til the time comes.
