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