8Walking along in the dark is a good way to begin a song. Walking home in
9the dark after a long day chasing criminals is another. Running away
10from an imagined evil is no way to begin a story.

12I am telling you this because you wanted to know what it's like to tell
13something so beautiful everyone will cry. I am telling you because I
14want you to know what it is to keep everything inside of you. I am
15telling you.
16
17Can you see? Can you see into me and reach in your hand and pull me
18inside out, like an [old shirt][]? Will you wear me until I unravel on your
19shoulders, will you cut me apart and use my skin to clean up the cola
20you spill on the floor when you're drunk?
21
22I want you to know that I want you to know. Do you want me? To know is
23to know. I, you want we. We want. That is why we're here. To want is to
24be is to want and I want you. Do you also? Check yes or no.
25
26There is a way to end every story, [every song][]. Every criminal must be
27caught. Even those who cry dry their tears. I cannot tell you all I want
28because I want to tell you everything. There is no art because there is
29no mirror big enough. We wake up every day. Sometimes we sleep.
