Endurance

At first I was afraid; this familiar music had demanded action, the kind of which I was incapable and yet had I lingered there beneath the surface I might have attempted to act. Nevertheless I know now that few really listen to this music. .. It was exhausting, as though I had held my breath for an hour under the terrifying serenity that comes from intense hunger. I haven't smoked a reefer since, however, not because they're illegal, but because to see around corners is enough (that's not unusual when you're invisible). But to hear around them... it inhabits action And despite Brother Jack and all that sad, lost period of the Brotherhood, I believe in nothing if not in action.
