dont go in the water theres an earthquake in japan and some tsunami waves are supposed to hit california any second and the sudden waves might pull you out to sea and theres this picture of a real live whirlpool i saw in the paper that looked like one of those old japanese paintings where its some sort of sea disaster with boats all scattered everywhere and debris so prominent nervous laughter the buildings look helpless and just shattered by the water with gas explosions and nuclear power leaks and so many dead it reminds me of nine eleven and the weird feeling of helplessness and horror and unexpected emotion welling up in my eyes because i am suddenly conscious of the abrupt end to so many stories without reason and so it is that so many of the faithful asked then as they ask now why would a good god allow such horrible events to pass and god as always answers them with unflinching silence and the unfaithful sigh and ponder the merits of enduring and the bigger meaning of love and then without thinking tell their children dont go in the water
