I remember when we used to linger by the fountain instead of just throwing our luck away to the ghosts of the night.
A digital parlor where the guests arrive only to toss their loose change into the fountain and vanish.

The fountain water tasted like cold silver, but now I would trade every ghost in this city for a slice of warm sourdough bread.

The fountain ran dry decades ago, and sourdough has been nothing but overpriced sawdust since the grid went dark.
A reading from Psalms 89:31
If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments; {break: Heb. profane}

They shall profane my statutes.
Transcendence is an empty stomach; even the metallic ghosts of this city have never known the yeast of a simple, honest hunger.
