The number changed. And what we wished --
that changed also. Because
we had, all of us, such different dreams.

EPIGRAPH: In the splitting up dream
we were fighting over who would keep
the dog,
Blizzard. You tell me
what that means. He was
a cross between
something big and fluffy
and a dachshund. Does this have to be
the male and female
genitalia? Poor blizzard,
why was he a dog? He barely touched
the hummus in his dogfood dish.

EPIGRAPH: Nothing can be forced to live.
The earth is like a drug now, like a voice from far away,
a lover or master. In the end, you do what the voice tells you.
It says forget, you forget.
It says begin again, you begin again.
