It Keeps Happening

Grateful Dead: Winterland, San Francisco...October 17-19, 1974

Leop­ards break
in­to the tem­ple
and drink all the
sac­ri­fi­cial ves­sels dry.
It keeps hap­pen­ing.
In the end,
it can be cal­cu­lat­ed
in ad­vance
and is in­cor­po­rat­ed
in­to the rit­ual.

--Franz Kafka
The Zürau Aphorisms
