Crest Acquired

Today I got into my parents' old car (which only I drive) and noticed a scrap of paper on the floor of the driver's seat. I assume it fell out of a folder after doing cut-ups or collages at IG's. I lifted the tiny bit of text out of the dry leaves and shiny dirt (from my sneakers) and held it to the light of the cd player. It read, "deep and newly surfaced minerals allowed to live."
