Excerpt from Cat's Cradle
Chapter 41: A Karass built for two
"They were, I think, a flawless example of what Bokonon calls a duprass, which is a karass composed of only two persons. 'A true duprass,' Bokonon telss us, 'can't be invaded, not even by children born of such a union'..."
"Bokonon tells us, incidentally, that members of a duprass always die within a week of each other. When it came time for the Mintons to die, they did it within the same second."

Drowsy Musings
I slurp my coffee
Like a baby suckling a bottle
Brain…is…so…slow…
My occupation leaves me wanting
I am without talent
Brain…is…so…slow…
The clock ticks
Much louder than I can think
Brain…is…so…slow…
How many hours, days, years left
Of this jumbled mess?
Brain…is…so…slow…
Focus, focus, focus
On this life you’ve chosen
Brain…is…so…slow…

Brain…is…so…slow…
Focus, focus, focus

Brain…is…so…slow…
