We read the newspapers, wonder what happened; could it be prevented? What if she went to the laundromat before? What if she stopped for a snack? Still, would it happen? It has happened; it did. And then we close the thin sheets riddled with words of the past and present, and open our eyes to the future. Where does the past go? Where do the words go and where do the people go when they meet the sharp silver lips of the shredder? Are they still with us; had they lived the life they desired; what if they didn't--how would they know? Oh Jesus, what do any of us know?
Accidents have happened, and I wonder if I close the paper I can predict what the future will present.
P.P.C.P.P
