Walking home in +the dark after a long day chasing criminals is another. Running away +from an imagined evil is no way to begin a story. + +I am telling you this because you wanted to know what it's like to tell +something so beautiful everyone will cry. I am telling you because I +want you to know what it is to keep everything inside of you. I am +telling you. + +Can you see? Can you see into me and reach in your hand and pull me +inside out, like an old shirt? Will you wear me until I unravel on your +shoulders, will you cut me apart and use my skin to clean up the cola +you spill on the floor when you're drunk? + +I want you to know that I want you to know. Do you want me? To know is +to know. I, you want we. We want. That is why we're here. To want is to +be is to want and I want you. Do you also? Check yes or no. + +There is a way to end every story, every song. Every criminal must be +caught. Even those who cry dry their tears. I cannot tell you all I want +because I want to tell you everything. There is no art because there is +no mirror big enough. We wake up every day. Sometimes we sleep. -- cgit 1.4.1-21-gabe81
