Every now and then life sold you an illusion of design. a coincidence, a parallel, a sledgehammer symbol. the goods were always faulty. you forked over the cash only to discover they'd fallen apart by the time you got home. but life kept at it. life couldn't help it. life was a compulsive salesman.
