“Out of sight, out of mind, I'm told, I'm assured, so I hide away your hands. I stow away your smile, and I put away our plans. I bury all your boyish charms, and I lock away your laugh. I stash all your special names for me, and I tuck away the last year and a half. The trouble is, I never know where I stored this or that. I open a drawer, and there's your voice, it's here and gone so fast. Out of sight, out of mind, out of mind, out of mind, I'm out of my out of my mind. Living in a graveyard filled with all you left behind.”

Shall we not confess that the politics of that night have more reality and force for us than those of, say, the entire U.S. Government? Some of the "parties" we've mentioned lasted for two or three years. Is this something worth imagining, worth fighting for? Let us study invisibility, webworking, psychic nomadism--and who knows what we might attain?”
