\nI\u2019m the master
\nof beginnings; neither middle, nor end,
\nof steps that hang, neither rise nor fall,
\nof sounds that are, reach ears mean nothing. <\/p>\n

 
\nTry not to call me, or meet me (never).
\nMail me. Mails are good, convenient too.
\nThere\u2019s no guarantee that I\u2019ll mail you back.
\nI respond or reply at my leisure
\nfor my pleasure. <\/p>\n

 
\nHad you been a little less
\nthan you, I\u2019d suspect you, but you, as you are,
\nI can\u2019t suspect. If I do, then the end of
\nthe middle comes.
\nThen, apocalypse comes.<\/strong><\/p>\n
