“everything/ that ever was still is, somewhere”

“People seem weak, but they’re strong. They seem strong, but they’re weak. No matter how much you cry, you still have to sleep. And you even get hungry. You suddenly realize you’re doing the same things you did yesterday. You say hi to your friends and smile just like you did yesterday. Life goes on as if nothing ever happened…I want to go somewhere… Anywhere… Somewhere where I can forget everything. …where I’ll forget everything …and be reborn.Mars Volume 18”

“I don’t think you ever learn everything about anyone, no matter how long you know them, or how well. There’s always another pocket somewhere.”

“listen: the dark we've only ever imagined now audible, thrumming, marbled with static like gristly meat. a chorus of engines churns.silence taunts: a dare. everything that disappearsdisappears as if returning somewhere.”

“There still might be a place for us somewhere.”

“Everything in life is somewhere else and you get there in a car.”
