My heart was broken and my head was just barely inhabitable

I think we're all pretty crazy on this bus. I'm not sure I know anyone who's got all the dots on his or her dice.

The earth is rocky and full of roots; it's clay, and it seems doomed and polluted, but you dig little holes for the ugly shriveled bulbs, throw in a handful of poppy seeds, and cover it all over, and you know you'll never see it again - it's death and clay and shrivel, and your hands are nicked from the rocks, your nails black with soil.
