    It was always thus. He only became aware of it, after rejecting the fantasy that the shared experiences in memory held meaning beyond their existence as momentary flashes of light, a brief collective compression resulting in fusion, in the infinite void.

    …l don’t like the idea of being reduced to the size of a dot…

    …but angels dance on a head of a pin, right?…

    …but this opposite of this is forgiveness…

    …one must forgive 70 times 7 times…

    …meaning forever…

    …every time you recall the grevience(s)…

    …forgive instead of dwell…

    …forgive…

    …this has nothing to do with me forgetting to play nice …

    …and writing …

    …ah…

    …you can’t unring a bell…

    Prose reposed … should have dropped the last sentence and ended thus:

    “… He then shrank those black and white memories until they were the size of a tiny black dot, PERIOD.”

    … there, there are three good memories released to starting dots…

    …there, there are six more…

    …it is amazing the mind of us all …

    …turning extremely happy moments in to bits and pieces of torture…

    …holding her hand.…

    …laughing until milk spit out her nose…

    …three more dots…

    … Chekhov’s gun…

    …should have seen it coming…

    …‘What comes before now is no different than what is now…

    …Or what is to come. It is one’s existence…

    …Then for you, there is no linear time…

    It is the one year anniversary of the reprieve of the Frog Applause. Talk it like Vlad. Do a plumage jig. Pop some subliminal zits. Fart on your neighbor. Peas and cluck cluck cluck for all.
