he wandered realm to realm

in a land so deprived of history it knew no name

he chanced upon a palace full brim of punters such that the practitioners of that oldest craft

regarded him with indifference

his purse his story

they held no value in the paling red light above them

like stars at the exstinguishment of dawn

is your paper worth the effort she asked

just lay with me stranger in no transaction save the silence beyond please

the one the other seemless

thank you
