Between Sessions

I’m coming down the pike. It’s a different kind of vibe. Now I’m a 3-D monosyllabic image of myself.  I’m almost holographic. I mean, do animals really believe in God? Anyway, my guess is it’s probably just a case of our robots against their robots. I’m happy to report I’m in stable condition and resting comfortably. I feel fine being naked. Beauty begins the moment you pretend to be someone else. As I’m sure you know, not everyone is into archery, but I like to sharpen my arrowheads whenever I have few extra minutes. The targets pretty much take care of themselves. No, the blood doesn’t leave a stain. At least, not if you mop up carefully between each session.
