6Walking along in the dark is a good way to begin a song. Walking home in
7the dark after a long day chasing criminals is another. Running away
8from an imagined evil is no way to begin a story.

10I am telling you this because you wanted to know what it's like to tell
11something so beautiful everyone will cry. I am telling you because I
12want you to know what it is to keep everything inside of you. I am
13telling you.

15Can you see? Can you see into me and reach in your hand and pull me
16inside out, like an old shirt? Will you wear me until I unravel on your
17shoulders, will you cut me apart and use my skin to clean up the cola
18you spill on the floor when you're drunk?

20I want you to know that I want you to know. Do you want me? To know is
21to know. I, you want we. We want. That is why we're here. To want is to
22be is to want and I want you. Do you also? Check yes or no.

24There is a way to end every story, every song. Every criminal must be
25caught. Even those who cry dry their tears. I cannot tell you all I want
26because I want to tell you everything. There is no art because there is
27no mirror big enough. We wake up every day. Sometimes we sleep.
