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