This is revised just a tad from versions I released elsewhere... if anyone
wants to bother archiving this natter, this is the one to keep ^_^

This is based on CLOVER, by CLAMP -- a very, very cool cyberpunk/magic fusion
that is on my top ten 'best' list -- complete at three volumes, and the
translations are on the net ^_^

This shows that I had way too much time on my hands... BTW, I know the last
word isn't quite symmetrical -- if anyone can tell me a 3 letter word that'll
fit ^_^;; 

Any comments/suggestions to monica@pipeline.com

     half of my soul had gone. I      know that I am not his Four
