22"Riding the bus to work is a good way to think or to read" Paul thought to himself on the bus ride to work.
23His thoughts couldn't become real to him because he didn't want to look insane to everyone else on the bus.
24His thoughts came to him like someone [yelling over a hard wind][].
25He was trying to write them on his memory but the act of writing was easier and more immediate than that of listening.
26He was afraid that when he looked at his memory later he wouldn't be able to read what was written.

28"Thoughts are like the wind outside a moving bus" he thought "or rather the bus is a brain slamming into columns of stagnant air causing them to whistle past in a confusion of something."
29He could barely hear the voice [yelling to him over the wind][].
30"Speak up" he thought to the voice, then remembered it was his own.
31He wished he'd remembered a book to read.
32
33He looked at his hands to pass the time.
34[They were dry in the winter air][] that had seeped its way into the bus.
35He tried to figure out how many hours they would make it before cracking and bleeding.
36"Maybe three or four" he thought accidentally out loud.
37He looked around expecting stares from everyone on the seat.
