Her eyes reflected the flames as they rose from what once was the prudential building. She started to say something, but stopped with her mouth half open and shook her head. She turned her head away slowly to glimpse what might have been the last upheaval of commonwealth ave as it opened up to swallow anything foolish enough not to get out of it's way. She bit her lip for only a moment as she searched the tangled wires protruding from the sheared base of a lamppost for something she seemed unable to locate. Then she looked back to me, gently brushing the coarse dust from the hair covering her ear, waiting to hear it fall to the ground. I was able to overhear her say something about OK I can have another chance cause she thinks that it was a mistake, and it's OK she'll try and it'll be OK don't worry. She smiled briefly as the dumpster overturned and began rolling towards the charles river, only to shatter upon impact with the inside wall of the crevasse, with fragments of scrap metal bouncing and scraping their way into silence down the chute. I stepped over the splintered glass with my remaining foot to kiss her gently on the cheek. Then she spoke to me saying that it was like you know how it can be and how it was like when now it seemed like you know how it's like and how it was different like now it's like you know what I mean. I felt like when like you know how like then it was like I felt when like you know before like when it was like you know like the way it was like before when like you know and I felt like the way I feel when it's like you know like how I feel like when you like you know like when it's like before when like it's like when like it was like it was like. She took my hand and gently led me over the charred remains of what could have previously described as a building that could have conceivably held what might have been tenants if there were anything resembling what might be called apartments. We made love that night on what might have been previously a bed that was something that could have conceivably be adequately described as something resembling a mattress for lack of anything that in no way could ever be mistaken as anything even closely similar to what you might perhaps call a frame. It was like it was like when you know when like it's like when it's like when you know how when it's like when like when it was like when it was like how you know like how when like you know how like that was like when like that when you know how when like how it was like. To the best of my recollection, that was how it was that time as I remember it when it happened back then if my memory serves me right is how it was that time when back then it happened. I just thought I would tell you how it was back then as I remember it happening at the time so I could tell you this story about how it was and how I remember it the way it was back then. ----{ john williams }---- < I hope you like know what like you know like what > < I'm trying to say is that I hope you know like > < what I mean is like you know what I mean is that I > < hope you know like you know what I mean > (DEC E-NET) KIRK::WILLIAMS (UUCP) {decvax, ucbvax, allegra}!decwrl!dec-rhea!dec-kirk!williams (ARPA) williams%kirk.DEC@decwrl.ARPA williams%kirk.DEC@Purdue-Merlin.ARPA
