THE JOURNAL

THE JOURNAL #1

What to put in and what to leave out

is a conceit of editors. Geologists

know there is always more missing

to the record than rock columns can show.

Your cover will be blown

regardless of your skills.

Sometimes it's best to let people

know who you are before you begin.

Pull the car over and park.

Get out your little hammer

and tap away. You know

how much depends upon luck.

You don't always know

how lucky you are.
