There was a light, shining on the ground, just up the road a piece, but there was a tree a little bit closer. The tree moved so that I thought someone was walking to me and I was thrilled and irritated and I smiled because I wouldn't be alone. I didn't want to be alone, but a person would want to talk. I didn't want to be alone - I wanted to be  left alone. I needed another sobbing heart, a different unnecessary mind, to be there, but only to be there. There's a medicine in just being with a person, and I smiled. Irritated, I smiled, but there was no one; no one was walking toward me or away. So I thumbed my nose and spat at the breeze for having let myself be fooled.
