in a final thrust i placed my all
he danced aside adroitly
i fell undone
he pulled a gun
and winged me by the oak tree

Loon: For today’s 3 Question Interview, the Lords of the 4th Dimension have brought a mountain man named Hugh Glass who crawled a long way after fighting a bear. Mr. Glass, was the stench of the bear’s breath almost unbearable?
Ghost of Hugh Glass: There might be some truth in that, though I weren’t busy noticing at the time, and to my way of thinking, a bear’s breath is usually bearable, a bear being a bear.
Loon: I see. As you crawled day after day toward your salvation, did you pause to note the beauty of your surroundings and take heart from them?
Ghost of Hugh Glass: Can’t say as I did.
Loon: A pity. And finally, what is our favorite color?
Ghost of Hugh Glass: I’m kind of partial to cornflower blue.
Loon (beaming): Thank you, Mr. Glass.
Ghost of Hugh Glass: Gratified. (fades away)
