6A dead man finds his way into our hearts \
7simply by opening the door and walking in. \
8He pours himself a drink, speaks aimlessly \
9about hunting or some bats he saw \
10on the way over, wheeling around each other. \
11Look how they spin, he says, it's like the \
12ripples atoms make as they hurl past each other \
13in the space between their bodies. \
14We mention the eels at the aquarium, how \
15their bodies knot while mating. The dead man \
16was a boyscout once, and tied a lot of knots. \
17His favorite was the one with the rabbit \
18and the hole, and the rabbit going in and out \
19and around the tree. The dead man liked it \
20because he liked to pretend that the rabbit \
21was running from a fox, and the rabbit \
22always ended up safe, back in his hole.
