Me and my friends sit here deep at the start of the twenty-first century; we were talking about something that will be made in Japan to stop the tsunamis, some great pyramid; and the thought crashed heavily into me, that we stood there talking of shapes that would or may be, just as at the bottom of the twentieth century people long dead were talking about man going to space, passenger airplanes, cars going faster than horses, colour television. And before them lay, in a pattern marked with humanity's unique, grotesque, fallen, redeemable signature, Events. Why stop the tsunamis? There is a great black wave waiting to engulf us all, one by one; it came for the black-and-white people in 1910, it will come for us all, me, and my dear friends. |
