goodbye oracle
I’m done today, outside marble halls and chrome elevators, mahogany conference rooms and sleek dark labs. Sometimes when you stand outside a tower of glass with nothing in your hands but a space heater in a box and a plant with exactly 18 leaves, you wonder, “Will I ever wear my dry cleaning again?” Only time will tell.
“Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?”
“That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,” said the Cat.
“I don’t much care where–” said Alice.
“Then it doesn’t matter which way you go,” said the Cat.
“–so long as I get SOMEWHERE,” Alice added as an explanation.
“Oh, you’re sure to do that,” said the Cat, “if you only walk long enough.”
