Sometimes i can even see timmy skating with linda
under the yellow floodlights. i'm young and happy. i'll never die.
i'm skimming across the surface of my own history, moving fast,
riding the melt beneath the blades, doing looſs and spins, and when i
take a high leap into th dark and come down thirty years later, i realize
it is as tim trying to save timmy's life with a story. (from, the lives
of the dead)
