Liberty's Sparkle (50)

   
   "Liberty's Sparkle (50)"
   
   Having forged temporary residence at a camping ground, and placing Spanky in a state of anchoring safety, Liberty and Faye went to a CFL game; specifically, watched the Hamilton Tiger-Cats toss the pigskin around, eating buttery popcorn, and throwing back some smooth lager.
   As the jubilation of the live action game faded into the eternal past, Liberty and Faye, drove slowly, as most people do in Canada, back to the campgrounds.  There, Spanky wagged his exuberance, offering luscious licks and love, while Faye complained about the price of tobacco in the Great White North. 
   They also split a six pack, star-gazing at the big neon glitter shimmering around an effulgent, waxing gibbous, so alive with Lunar possibilities, ready to be mined and feed Mother Earth.
   "Nothing is as it seems."  Faye buzzed to a serious point of introspection.  
   Liberty further probed:  "Mark Twain, now demonized in America, though Gabriel giving the literary gift of the Koran uses a similar word--people's ignorance, but God bless them; anyway, Twain was first published in Canada."
   "And your point?"  Faye grinning with intoxication.
   Liberty, following Faye's crusade into the depth of philosophy, quoted a piece of Twain's work in his Joan of Arc epic, stating:  "The common eye sees only the outside of things, and judges by that, but the seeing eye pierces through the heart and soul, finding there capacities which the outside didn't indicate or promise."
   Faye ruminated, deeply; next, puked a foamy liquid ounce of beer on the Canadian Earth, mumbling:  "Who freaking won the football game?"
