Near and far have personalities.
Far is melancholy and peaceful.
Far is thoughtful. I like far.
Once I met someone who was like a distant star.
Last night she was in my dream,
Sitting at a desk, at work or prison, doing nothing.
Each morning I arrived hoping she would be there.
She was more beautiful than in life—
Even though she is beautiful in life—
Because it was a dream.
I am now haunted by this dream.
Near has a distinct personality.
The smallest item on the face
Can fill you with joy or disgrace.
The slightest change can fill you with fear.
I don’t like near.
“Excuse me, Mr. Graves, can I see you in here?”
