"There's not much doubt in any of our minds that no complete idea springs fully formed from our brow,
needing only a handshake and a signature on the contract to send it off into the world to make twenty-five billion dollars.
The germ of the idea grows slowly..." - Walt Kelly

An emblem of possibility. 
Some ancient folklore's favored thoroughfare. 
The body we buried with all the others. 
Only a dream, a future left to rot. 
Pack mule of the sky. 
Unbloodied blades sinking through time. 
An emptiness below the stars.
