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?
