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