And I'm Not Talking About the Park

"So, you're sayin' that you take that one out and the whole damn thing comes crashing down."

"That's right, Ray. For at least two thousand years, builders have known that it's an integral componant of the construction of an arch. It was often the target of siege engines of invading armies. They knew that if they could remove it, they would have a good chance of breaching the enemies' defenses."

"Huh. You... um."

"'I', what, Ray?"

"You know that you're mine, doncha?

"Your what?"

"You're, how'd you put it?, you're the integral componant in the construction of... well, of me. Of my life."

"As are you in mine, Ray."

*****

Yeah, I know I'm a featherweight.

Oh! Sweet! Nice! I can totally hear Ray saying this. I love the way his mind jumps about, and this is just the connection I'd imagine he'd make. Loveliness. You must write more for us!

I have such admiration for anyone who conveys so much in so few words. I hope we don't have to wait another 8 years for the next one.
