Thursday night at Java Cabana
I didn't realize it was thursday. I just wanted some coffee. Vella was attending an astrology lecture by Sare. I got my umbrella and walked to the Java Cabana. Mary was running the coffee house, so I asked for a bagel and cream cheese. The other choices would not be available untill Friday. I sat down to eat the bagel and Mary went to the microphone and read a poem she had written. Two fellows each read their poems after that. Then I was inspired to say something myself. I wrote down some notes and approached the microphone. Here is an approximation of the spontaneous rant/poem: They won't tell you unless you ask But there are an infinite number of universes They won't tell you unless you ask It's in the standard model They won't tell you unless you ask every posibillity is given equal weight They won't tell you unless you ask but most of them cancell out They won't tell you unless you ask Information can come from the future They won't tell you unless you ask but we allways have a choice They won't tell you unless you ask but you determine the present I went on for a while like that.
