The Visitor

So heavy and viscous and thickset--the ink. No, not in my pen, so then where do you think? No, not in an inkwell--that's old; its outdated. You don't have a clue to the question I've stated?   MY HEAD's the location. I see you don't know. That's where it has settled. That's where the stuff flows.
