A Day and a Year

Bibi said: "I lie shivering at night, thinking that my thinking will be outdated in just a few years' time."

A day passed.

"But no," Sagen said. "Because thinking goes on in loops."

"Even if you think you might be turning your back to the future," Trennen said, "you are in fact just tracing a circle that goes on and on."

Go-On then cried: "Pi-pi-pi-pi-pi."

And again: "Pi-pi-pi-pi-pi."

A year passed.

At night, Bibi was no longer shivering. In her sleep, Bibi was dreaming. She was dreaming about her thinking, that was still spinning after two hundred years, in the sky, like a system of stars.

Many moons, suns, and rainbows later...
