Sometimes it was crucial to clear the emotional desk
Guess you’ve seen all of this before
It’s always been serious
What is your life’s work, anyway?
The universe was an unanswered question
Stop thinking your shallow thoughts
Stories were devices for deluding ourselves and others
Why go through all that trouble to make a great story and then give it an ending like that?
You have to be able to tell the story
Can’t stay here long
A silence of no movement and almost no breath
Remember who planted them
We are like two friends
I have never known how to use them, of course
Spitting and screaming
I think they’re going to fight
And I guess that’s all that happened before I came here
And then the next day I just left, without any reason except that I did
I don’t really know quite how I got here
We are honored to have you here
I guess I was a little frightened
All those trees
I suppose it seems farther than it really is
It’s not even my cat
He just followed me here
Come along, please
I’ve been here for a long time, though
Going to be dark before long
Where are we going, fellow? Any ideas?
The cat had joined him shortly after he entered the forest
Looking back once to see the other road, the one he had not chosen
Life went on as though nothing had happened
That doesn’t make sense
We thought you’d want to know
That tells us nothing
I closed my eyes
I smiled at the swiftly approaching lights and laughed soundlessly
I’d walk away without a cent
Things were falling into balance
How long has this been going on?
You’re trying on expressions
All the snores from the last night have stuck to the walls
Nothing could shut the noise out
Leave me alone
I just knew what you were going to say
I’m not really very easy. You don’t know me at all
His expression was intent and preoccupied
Just your kind of thing
It was almost a form of happiness
This is all there is ‒ being alive, just here; right now
