Office Volume 28

Is the facsimile cover page a cover page or is it just a facsimile of a cover page. When you send this page as the lead for other pages is it just a copy to those who receive it or is it so much more; some magical data painted on paper like that of an artist representation of real life. Maybe a landscape or portrait of: "To John Doe", "Pages 8", & "Subject Legal Documents"? Is a copy in itself not the same no matter how many times you push send. I signed my name to this sheet. How much is my signature devalued each time it spits out on the other end? Doesn't an original becoming streaming data so much more than that of ink on a page. Or is the paper more precious because it is pieces of our dying tress. "Message Sending" so says the LED screen. Next time your pre masterpiece may be stuck or crinkled or not sent. All harmonize with the cries of the fax machine, like that of a screaming banshee letting a family know someone will die. Or maybe that noise is the tune to your daily life and it is the echoing that makes you loose your mind. Is this a facsimile or a cover page or is t just a fax?
