[text ID: Sometimes you get so close to someone, you end up on the other side of them. /end ID]

[text ID: Here is a place for it to happen. A place where I can love you. /end ID]

[text ID: Fact is, the world is full of things that are trying to kill you. We do not walk through a passive landscape. /end ID]

[text ID: Oh, the body, its hungers, needs, and limitations. You look at somebody and you realize that they’re in there, inside there, somewhere, and how will you ever reach them, understand them? /end ID]

[text ID: Not only are we trapped in our bodies, drowning in gravity, but we’re stuck in our time, too. /end ID]

[text ID: Love, love, go ahead and have another plate of it, it doesn’t run out.  Of course, I wonder if they love me back, which is, really, besides the point. /end ID]

[text ID: Sure, we go to the bar to drink, and we drink to get drunk, but peel back that layer and there’s yet another: we get drunk to leak a little truth. We get drunk so we can say things, often things we’ll want to be able to deny later. end ID]
