1 " I want to think about trees. Trees have a curious relationship to the subject of the present moment. There are many created things in the universe that outlive us, that outlive the sun, even, but I can’t think about them. I live with trees. There are creatures under our feet, creatures that live over our heads, but trees live quite convincingly in the same filament of air we inhabit, and in addition, they extend impressively in both directions, up and down, shearing rock and fanning air, doing their real business just out of reach. "

5 " Just...if you notice I'm talking too much or someone seems particularly interested in what I'm asking about, let me know. That's all. Just...have my back." '" Have...back?" " Have my back. Simply make sure that I don't put me foot in it." " Foot?" He rolled his eyes. " Gods, you're literal. I mean make sure I don't talk us into a bad situation." " Oh. Step on dick." His eyes widened. " Pardon?" " When men do stupid thing...we say they step on dick." " That would imply an impressively sized dick. "
6 " One family, two impressively gay brothers. "
7 " He hits it long. His shoulders are impressively quick through the ball. That's where he's getting his power from. He's young and has great elasticity. "
