• I dug myself a garden, and a stray cat I grew to like would come around to sulk in the corn. I forced myself to seek new love, and for a while, I thought I'd found it with a girl from my office. She was molten in my bed, but she also suffered depressions that were very dear to her. She would often call just to sigh at me for two hours on the phone, wanting me to applaud her depth of feeling. I cut if off, then missed her, wishing that I'd at least had the sense to take her naked photograph.

• Little world, full of little people
  shouting for recognition, screaming for love,

  carousel of the hungry,
  Is there food enough? Wheat and corn will not do.
  The fat are the hungriest of all, the skinny the most silent.
