Got back in bed, and stayed there for three, four days. After that I got dressed and went outside and the light was dazzling, and the sound wonderful. I felt like I was full of energy, like a charged battery. You know the first thing that pulled me down to earth? The first human face that I saw on the sidewalk. At that moment I lost half of my energy.
Fine.
a man lies in his bed in a room with no door
he waits hoping for a presence, something, anything to enter
after spending half his life searching, he still felt as blank
as the ceiling at which he stared
he's alive, but feels absolutely nothing
so, is he?
when he was six he believed that the moon overhead followed him
by nine he had deciphered the illusion, trading magic for fact
no tradebacks...
so this is what it's like to be an adult
if he only knew now what he knew then...
All right?
You'd be surprised how little I knew even up to yesterday.
Fine.
Who's got the Seventh Year booklist? I burnt mine when it got to me, and while I think I know most of it, I need to know if there's anything I wouldn't guess.
