From the book:
SEDUCTION
The mind has a way
of wandering
most when you least
expect it. There it goes,off the edge, avoiding this
obvious line your eye
dutifully follows—
to what end? To whereverpast each forest a bridge
reaches, then a wall, walls
and roofs. So before you
know it the mind islost in the world, and we
are alone in this dark
room together: nothing
but breathing between us.
