I think the most important thing is you simply persevere. You persevere, Stalin. I've had a rough morning. We lost three associates today in an accident out on the water. Part of me wants to go hang my head in a darkened cloak room corner at the Excelsior Club on Brampton Street and drink myself into a stupor. But we persevere; you get up and you get back into the mix and you stay in the fight. So here I am with you, thinking about you, thinking about sharks, thinking about certain jurisdictional aspects of multidistrict litigation, all of it apace with our predestined course here on this Earth, to interact with one another down endless days. There was a movie about a well-known pugilist a few years back where, at a certain point, he looks at his offspring and he says to him "it's not about how hard you hit, it's about how well you can manage the process of multiple cascading neural pathway failures, your hands working faster than can be perceived by the ordinary human eye, moving from broken juncture to broken juncture, almost as if he were seeing the catastrophic collapses before they were occurring, anticipating the pathway of the decay, seeking to stem the tide of systemic anarchy threatening to overwhelm lasko's primary neural net. I saw things that day that were beyond comprehension. For he so loved his boy that he fought against the inevitability of positronic death & won."

"Perseverance with no end is a pathway to oblivion. But perseverance toward some noble goal is the fulfillment of human purpose. It is my visions of the latter that have empowered the course of life I have taken. And above all else, one vision in particular has captured me. I have seen in my mind's eye a jacket, made of an artificial material, shiny and sleek. At its rear the logo of a star is emblazoned upon it and, above it, the phrase 'Starter.' It is brightly colored, bold dashes of green and white and, at its front, another term, presumably from some student of history: 'Celtics.' Sometimes, I see it in isolation. On other occasions, it is donned by a shadowy figure stumbling about a pub of some sort, screaming incomprehensible phrases in English--'fuck the Lakers' and 'Southie life bitches' &c. What is this? Realizing this, holding it in my own hands within the span of my life, has come to consume me."

We used to dance the starflight fancy, me and the kid. Deep wicked winter hours til candle's smoldering, raging across the table at one another in some simulation's simulation of gravity. He wore a green blazer and neatly trimmed plaid pants, which were an indulgent exoticism aboard the vessel, what with her carefully calculated mass and volume limits for each passenger. I was in standard ship's issue coveralls, the outers smocked up and soot stained to call card the hard work I'd engaged in 'til day's end, toiling beneath the trim upper decks in the quantum hellfires of the engineering hold, the betters above oblivious to the sacrifice of life taking place on the daily to run things. God Stalin, we talked. We talked about plots to capture the nuclear football and hypercolor forests, turkish literati and great golem battles, swift rescues on the precipice of peril and absurdist dramaturgists. He loved to scream spit-flecked the name of Christian Wolff and I answered with a swift Schleiermacher in reply and we were in it then, locked in battle. Sometimes we talked past each other. Sometimes we went right to the heart of each other's matters. We made things, you see, in the back and forth. And maybe it meant something.
