Show 104 "I would not reject a Mars Bar," said Willie. "Well whatever you need," I said to him, "let me know. The tools for these experiments aren't free." I had another puff on the hookah. It cooled the smoke down tremendously. Willie xxxxaaxixaxkxiix flipped the bills in front of his nose with his finger. And I even had more, about another forty more that I didn't know what to do with. After I gave some to Helen and bought a few Mars Bars and pizzas I didn't know what to do with it, and I knew enough that spreading it around too much would get me noticed. "No," said Willie. "As you may know, the other Dialecticians do not know xxa where I procure these tools. It is the safest way for the Dialecticians." "Yes," said Raymon. "We are a very safe group, considering the nature of our organization." "Yes," said Revis. "And we are not in the streets creating the crime and the violence." Revco just kept xxxx smiling like a dragon. The smoke had a fist on my brain now and I had to sit back. I noticed that Willie had a hammer near his pillows. "Lately I haf been tryin to escape the dualisms," said Willie. "To understand that deaf is neither one side nor the other of anyfing in particular." He had the shoe box out and that was making all us Dialecticians feel pretty happy. But he stopped for a moment and picked up a book, thumbed for a page, then passed it to me. It was axi: picture of a Hindu god, dancing, lots of arms, and 4^^-- underneath it said, "I am Shiva, the Destroyer, I create." Willie poked Raymon, then Revis, then Revco. He looked at me, contemplative, rubbing his chin with his bad hand. "I haf been finkin about the dualisms," said Willie. "I haf been finkin about deaf. I xxx haf been finkin about the hammer. All this finkin." The other Dialecticians were already humming their own xaaxxixx-realities to themselves while Willie prepared my hypo. I strapped my arm and Willie found the vein, and then I started finding that great quiet place in my own womb. "So?" I said to Willie. Willie finished up with himself. "So lately I haf been finkin about Shifa." |
