For the past several years, I have gone to sleep every night in this same little pocket, the most uneventful piece of time I could find. Same exact thing every night, night after night. Total silence. Absolutely nothing. That's why I chose it. I know for a fact nothing bad can happen to me in here.

You can just sit in here, impervious and invisible. So invisible you might even forget yourself.

There is a sense in which I am pretty sure this makes no sense. I don't know where this is going. I don't know how it ends.

Enjoy the elastic present, which can accommodate as little or as much as you want to put in there. Stretch it out, live inside of it.

At some point in your life, this statement will be true: tomorrow you will lose everything forever.
