17 | A dead man finds his way into our [hearts][] \ | ||
18 | simply by opening the door and walking in. \ | ||
19 | He pours himself a drink, speaks aimlessly \ | ||
20 | about hunting or some bats he saw \ | ||
21 | on the way over, wheeling around each other. \ | ||
22 | Look how [they spin][], he says, it's like the \ | ||
23 | ripples atoms make as they hurl past each other \ | ||
24 | in the space between their bodies. \ | ||
25 | We mention the eels at the aquarium, how \ | ||
26 | their bodies [knot while mating][]. The dead man \ | ||
27 | was a boyscout once, and tied a lot of knots. \ | ||
28 | His favorite was the one with the rabbit \ | ||
29 | and the hole, and the rabbit going in and out \ | ||
30 | and around the tree. The dead man liked it \ | ||
31 | because he liked to pretend that the rabbit \ | ||
32 | was running from a fox, and the rabbit \ | ||
33 | always ended up safe, back in his hole. | ||
