Chapter 7: Spotlight on Me Dancing

     You know the world is ours.  We’re up there with the stars.
     You know the world is ours.  We can do anything.

                                                                           —Headband

I’m. . . .You’re not going to be believe this!!  You have to be here!!
When I close my eyes I get to decide where I am.  It’s so fantastic!
“What happens when you open them?”  (He’s always so goddam
literal.)  [It is going to be impossible for me to ever get this right.
But I can imagine myself trying for years.  Just to give you a
glimmer.]  It’s communal, baby!  That’s why.  [But if it’s so
fantastic and if I’m already here, why would I ever want share
any of it?!]  Right.  Oh-hell-yeah-this-is-to-be-continued . . . .
. . . . . . [Directly into his telephone ear], Uh, hey, hello,
Edward?
[short pause, for effect]
Are you free tomorrow night?
