The text reads: There was and is a courtyard. Between its walls it held and will hold a universe. / In Minneapolis, events were set in motion. Two timelines find each other. / Forces shift. In Pontiac, two people begin to understand gravity and fall. / In Richmond, a courtyard in a hotel becomes a bridge, a span of time and space that is measured by the lives inside it. / A wormhole is created. It forms and connects one universe to the other. / The home in Minneapolis becomes the same as that in Pontiac, as that in Richmond. / There was and is a courtyard. Between its walls it held and will hold a universe.
