I remember touching railings on hot and cold days and always being colder than them. So I was always absorbing heat. & it became ever easier to just pull things inside like that. The sounds of feet contacting the pavement dulled like a receiver inching to meet the handset.

For what, really? In the end it’s not at all like that. It’s just about reaching equilibrium

Ps always be mindful about ranting off like one of the loons about the loons while the sane people in the room are scratching their heads wondering ‘what the fucks wrong with these two?’
