[Alan Sondheim]

a list is a communality of people


if the world will disappear, i will make you smile, and i will disappear.
if i will speak no more, the moon will say to you, and if i say no more,
the sun will speak to you. for i will leave this list, and i will speak no
more, and i will leave the world, and you will see no more, nor will you
hear when i shall leave the world, nor will you speak, when i shall leave
the world. for your smile i will say the truth and leave a storm for you,
and for the moon, i will leave the sun and this sad world.:i will make a
storm for you if i will say the truth and i will make the sun come unto
the lord and beg forgiveness. for it is said, to beg forgiveness is the
sun and to demand such is the moon. if i will say a lie, i will make a
rainbow, and if you walk a while, the ends will be a circle. for to be at
the end is to witness the circle, whereof all of life, if the truth be
said, is the sun and the moon, and all of life is the moon and the sun. :i
will gladly give up this list if it will make you happier and i will give
up my life if it will make you smile but i will not give up my country,
it's of you, sweet land of liberty, long may it smile. i will leave this
happy world for peace and i will leave this sad world for the forsaking of
war and i will leave this world for you if it will make you smile. i will
destroy these words if they will make you mad but if they make you happy i
will give up this world, i will give up this world for you if it will make
you smile.:: sun and moon and world, how sad!
