(Surimi):　

The Mona Lisa, except this time, not the painting. The Mona Lisa, except this time, not a photograph. This time the Mona Lisa, a three-second motion picture of Alcoholism's promises to Jim. Promises, expectations, and then the abortion. Mona Lisa's abortion: Alcoholism's smile.

　

   Jim could not become father to himself.

   Mona Lisa.

   Three seconds.

   Abort.
