Where the rubber meets the road for the modern Renaissance man is somewhere between arrogance and rust, somewhere in the mist of the dust of ancestors and geniuses lost. She said it while wiping out a glass lamenting the geniuses lost in south America to slavery the untold losses that are never counted.

She's waiting for the world to end. Meanwhile a man I know seems like he's waiting for the world to fall at his feet.
