Laura LeHew: “Should We Vanish”



          “you may drive nature out with a pitchfork but she will always return”
            ~Horace

1.

To Whom It May Concern:

By an unfortunate error we’ve
misidentified civilization. It was,
in fact, not created by the deity or
deities known sometimes as God
but by Mrs. Charles [Anne] Hobart of Kansas City,
Missouri head of the Abstinence For You-All Coalition.
We sincerely regret this error
and offer our apologies.
