		Remember me when I am gone away,
		Gone far away into the silent land;
		When you can no more hold me by the hand,
		Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
		Remember me when no more day by day
		You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
		Only remember me; you understand
		It will be late to counsel then or pray.
		Yet if you should forget me for a while
		And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
		For if the darkness and corruption leave
		A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
		Better by far you should forget and smile
		Than that you should remember and be sad.

		Harry used to cut wood for the Brown company over in Stoneham Red
		Rock Basin. And of course he was the best shot in camp. One day the
		foreman told him to go get some meat.
		"Take any gun you want."
		Harry says "I'll take the .45-70."
		Foreman said "That gun's only got one bullet."
		Harry says "I only need one bullet."
		Took the .45-70, went out, an hour later he was back with two Moose,
		a dozen trout you see, and a fluffy partridge. Went back to work.
		Well at supper that night foreman says "Harry, um, something's
		bothering me here a little bit. How did you get all that food with
		only one bullet. I'm a little confused about the... the partridge,
		there ain't a mark on him."
		"Well", Harry says, "I'll tell ya. I took that .45-70, went back into
		the woods a piece there I come to this brook. And I just uh, got to
		the other side when I happen to see two moose in the swamp off
		there. I figured I could get both of 'em. So I took out my huntin'
		knife and stuck it into the mud, hilt foremost, sharp edge on the
		blade towards me of course. I took dead aim on that knife, fired,
		split that bullet and killed those two moose. Well you know the
		recoil knocked me back into the brook. When I come up out of the
		water, my pants were so full of fish that it popped a button off my
		fly and killed that bird."

		My pen and I, submerged in liquid shade,

		Why rustle in the dark, when fledged with fire?
		Craze the night with flails of light. Reave
		Your turbid shroud. Bestow what I require.
		But you're not in the dark. I do believe
		I swim, like squid, in clouds of my own make,
		To you, offensive. To us both, opaque.
		What's constituted so, only a pen
		Can penetrate. I have one here; let's go.

		Stories can be risky for someone like me. What I say must be true, or it
		will be made true, and if it cannot be made true - if I don't have the
		power, or if what I have said is an impossibility - then I will pay the
		price. I might more or less safely say, "Once there was a man who rode
		home to attend his father's funeral and claim his inheritance, but
		matters were not as he expected them to be." I do not doubt that such a
		thing has happened more than once in all the time there have been
		fathers to die and sons to succeed them. But to go any further, I must
		supply more details - the specific actions of specific people, and their
		specific consequences - and there I might blunder, all unknowing, into
		untruth. It's safer for me to speak of what I know. Or to speak only in
		the safest of generalities. Or else to say plainly at the beginning,
		"Here is a story I have heard," placing the burden of truth or not on
		the teller whose words I am merely accurately reporting.
		But what is the story that I am telling? Here is another story I have
		heard:
		Once there were two brothers, and one of them wanted what the other had.
		Bent all his will to obtain what the other had, no matter the cost.
		Here is another story: Once there was a prisoner in a tower.
		And another:
		Once someone risked their life out of duty and loyalty to a friend.
		Ah, there's a story that I might tell, and truthfully.

		We are born from unity, we divide into isolation. We winnow ourselves
		out from the thing that first made sense of us and then expect to find
		meaning, yet a fraction makes no sense without the number of which
		it's a fractional part. We see loss, feel grief, give ourselves
		illness, we're cells that have over-divided and we call the division
		growth; the only real growth is in the return to unity, God, the
		unifying principle.
		Tired to his core, he turned the video off. The rain still poured as
		he went upstairs, and in bed as he tripped down into the deep open
		shaft of sleep he kept thinking that to divide by zero was to end up
		with infinity, as was to divide by God. To divide by God, to divide
		by God, over and over he thought it without sense; to divide by God; I
		must tell my students that the way to pass their exams is to divide by
		God. Then he must have slept, for it was morning.

		On Tuesday, January 20, 2004, I sent Joel Bleifuss, my editor at _In These
		Times_, this fax:
		ON ORANGE ALERT HERE.
		ECONOMIC TERRORIST ATTACK
		EXPECTED AT 8 PM EST. KV
		Worried, he called, asking what was up. I said I would tell him when I had
		more complete information on the bombs George Bush was set to deliver in his
		State of the Union address.
		That night I got a call from my friend, the out-of-print-science-fiction
		writer Kilgore Trout. He asked me, "Did you watch the State of the Union
		address?"
		"Yes, and it certainly helped to remember what the great British socialist
		playwright George Bernard Shaw said about this planet."
		"Which was?"
		"He said, 'I don't know if there are men on the moon, but if there are, they
		must be using the earth as their lunatic asylum.' And he wasn't talking
		about the germs or the elephants. He meant we the people."
		"Okay."
		"You don't think this is the Lunatic Asylum of the Universe?"
		"Kurt, I don't think I expressed an opinion one way of the other."
		"We are killing this planet as a life-support system with the poisons from
		all the thermodynamic whoopee we're making with atomic energy and fossil
		fuels, and everybody knows it, and practically nobody cares. This is how
		crazy we are. I think the planet's immune system is trying to get rid of us
		with AIDS and new strains of flu and tuberculosis, and so on. I think the
		planet should get rid of us. We're really awful animals. I mean, that dumb
		Barbra Streisand song, 'People who need people are the luckiest people in
		the world' -- she's talking about cannibals. Lots to eat. Yes, the planet is
		trying to get rid of us, but I think it's too late."
		And I said good-bye to my friend, hung up the phone, sat down and wrote this
		epitaph: "The good Earth -- we could have saved it, but we were too damn
		cheap and lazy."
