Was that meant to be a proper question? If not—if you were only making conversation—then very well, let us converse. But if so, then I’m sorry but no, I cannot answer, will not, won’t. I have no idea what happens next, have never attempted to predict the future, and do not intend to start now.
I am however willing to dict the present:
You have calmed, are calm, and that is as it should be.
I am also willing to postdict the past, or attempt to.
The universe, for example, expanded like a balloon inflated by a child, your child, your youngest child, the dumb one.
Then there was some sort of amphibian and you need to sit back down. Now please. Sit down, sit back down, do it now, I will not ask you again.
Thank you.
Someone turned a stone into a knife and someone built a fire. Someone pressed a reed into moist clay and now here we are, me here and you there—you, you, you with your unreasoning demands.
