There was a gun battle that warped time with weapons that warped time. This turned into a war that warped time, an eternal war - the lowest level of the cosmos. And when we have the power to kill one another so easily, when every man can kill any other man, and yet we have peace voluntarily, this is a higher level of the cosmos - but it is still a hell, and we think of only escape into the heavens. That was why that woman wanted to make love like dogs in the street. That was why she awoke by the lake in the morning and began to wash in the lake, and the water was calm and heavy and deep.
