What if it’s not sleep after all but the Big Guest tickly calling? What if it’s foolery finely cloaked masking as LOVE? What if seated in Heaven is the Devil and fanning Hell’s furnace is The Lord? What if righteousness is but a sin and Sodomy, the Hallowed? What if we are just characters existing only in the dreams of some gods? What if…? |
