Chapter One
When I say "You can," I almost always mean "I want you to."
Chapter Two
Maybe it's just the exhaustion talking, but I can't stop thinking about how to play six degrees with the entire earth - the movie you're watching containing an aerial shot of a mountain range driven over by a man in his forties who later sold his car to my mother - or a piece of paper which the wind blows against your calf as you're waiting for a bus, the plant at which the paper was made being located in northern Connecticut which my paternal grandfather flew airplanes over until he was too old to pilot - a six degrees where you can count DNA; intent; syllables; genuses; mistakes; refrains.
Chapter Three
"Don't tell me your name if you don't want it sung."
- Sleater-Kinney
Chapter Four
Come wake me up. (You can, if you want to.)
