“THIS IS WHY
He will never be given to wonder much
if he was the mouth for some cruel force
that said it. But if he were
(this will comfort her) less than one moment
out of millions had he meant it.
So many years and so many turns
they had swerved around the subject.
And he will swear for many more
the kitchen and everything in it vanished --
the oak table, their guests, the refrigerator door
he had been surely propped against--
all changed to rusted ironwork and ash
except in the center in her linen caftan:
she was not touched.
He remembers the silence before he spoke
and her nodding a little,
as if in the meat of this gray waste
here was the signal
for him to speak what they had long agreed,
what somewhere they had prepared together.
And this one moment in the desert of ash
stretches into forever.
They had been having a dinner party.
She had been lonely.
A friend asked her almost joking
if she had ever felt really crazy,
and when she started to unwind her answer
in long, lovely sentences like scarves within her
he saw this was the way
they could no longer talk together.
And that is when he said it,
in front of the guests,
because he couldn't bear to hear her.
And this is why the guests have left
and she screams as he comes near her.”

I mean, we thought we did, we thought we’ve made progress, but we could have had the internet in the fifteenth century if we’d only pulled our fingers out and stopped drowning witches for a second.”

“This is why I loved the support groups so much, if people thought you were dying, they gave you their full attention. If this might be the last time they saw you, they really saw you. Everything else about their checkbook balance and radio songs and messy hair went out the window. You had their full attention. People listened instead of just waiting for their turn to speak. And when they spoke, they weren't just telling you a story. When the two of you talked, you were building something, and afterward you were both different than before.”

“This is why I'm against marrying young. When you're young, you marry your holes and burrow into them like a childhood bed, until you realize that you've outgrown the bed, and then it's, you know, the hassle of wanting a new bed, of looking for a new bed, of getting a new bed, assembling the bed, adjusting to the bed.
I don't want to be reminded of my childhood bed.”

"I can't even imagine," Sally said. "Good thing you have me to keep you in line."
"Good thing indeed," Jack said, reaching across the table and placing his hand over hers. His expression turned serious and when he met her eyes with his own, Sally's breath hitched.
"Thank you for bringing me here," he said softly. "This was exactly what I needed."
Sally nodded, not trusting herself to speak. She couldn't believe she'd almost chickened out and stayed behind. Missed out on this special day with Jack. Seeing the light in his eyes. Hearing the joy in his voice. Just the two of them together.
No one knew where they were. No one knew what they were doing. And the only thing that mattered was that they were doing it together.
Maybe she needed to face her fears more often...”
