The story says: Steal the magic jewels, Wed the princess, live happily ever after. Eventually, you must risk death to gain life. Now you and I both know the jewels are fake, The princess is a bitch, and heroes fools. Yet what's life without something worth dying for? So look around in four or five dimensions: Everything's a fit field for laughter. Vision requires a powerful close-up lens: Eventually, you must risk falsehood to gain truth. Nothing will be equal to the chances you take. Copyright by Nicholas Gordon. Free for personal or non-commercial use.
