When I asked him what he meant, he said, For them, one and one and one and one don't make four. What do they make? I said, expecting five or three. I knew he meant kill. There is ano...

Nemesis: One Cogged Circle

http://storm-nemesis.blogspot.com/2014/05/one-cogged-circle.html

So long as you stay clear of humanism there is nothing to complain of. - Basil Bunting.
