G.A. Scheinoha

��Could you scrub among the multitudes, ala Roma style? No simple tunic, the yards long wrap of plain percale to unswathe here. Rather, stripped of expensive tweeds, intricately woven, button down Oxford collared, Egyptian cotton, the hopelessly bright, endlessly gaudy raiment of your sincerest affectations.
��Pretense no longer spun on the loom of illusions. Each peeled away layer by ponderous layer, every encumbrance laid aside, piled at the ready, close to hand near this porcelain portal poised to take you as you were born, bare of hubris, utterly devoid of animus.
��And simply step into the current of the masses same as toes first plunged into a frigid mountain stream, invigorated by the babble of frost, washed free of every air till naught persists except a freshly renewed, tautly sinewed, always present yet skeletally considered empty slate.
