cycads and ferns
cycads and ferns is on page 110 of 652 of The Tunnel: And what do I do? I stumble to my desk and try....when I write about myself, is it truly the truth I want? What do I want? to find out who I am? What is the good of that? I want to feel a little less uneasy.

“Is there a natural law that draws a plastic bag to an infant similar to the law that draws a tornado to a mobile home?�

“Is a body catching a body coming through the rye regarded as a good thing or a bad thing?�
