"The Sky Knew Not What to do but Smile Back. He was excited to see what would happen next and next after that. The kind of excitement you only ever see in Fandango paper bags. My lunch continues to come in a box and this is appalling to him. A box like he'd never seen. School lunch is still the mostest rottenest and now school dinner will make you clean again. It'll make you mean again."

"Six minutes and only two returns. The duck was dead to begin with. What's it gonna take to make a champion dog out of ashes? The tombstones never knew and here he stands. Hand's in the ass. A coach that has no plays. A dog with numbered days. The air of gold and greys."
