Wriggling, it splits open.

In the East, the Supreme cause.
Multitudes in harmony;
The element CH'A to mistake

Holding on produces that which is evil.

There were no restaurants or grocery stores or gas stations but every speck of land was cultivated to grow tall corn. Nothing native was growing anywhere. We drove for a mile out of our way to get to a little grocery store that was closed. A baseball game was happening behind the store. The people seemed, by their cars and dress, pretty well off. There was something very high-tech about this world. The corn fields were accented by giant sprinklers.
