yeah...

even if cursing the idiot

 

because it is not whether there is

howling in pain, or cursing so-and-so

but whether there is *belief* in that.

 

if seems that belief in all that, comes

to fall away, that whatever transpires

is witnessed, in a transparent kind of way...

 

and the disbelief comes to soak deeper than

even realized

 

so that even if angry it is not really believed.

 

like the kid that knows now that Santa Claus

is not for real but still goes through the

motions

 

it is like Santa Claus all over again

no longer believing

no longer able to believe
