“I want to go home, but home is the mouth of a shark. Home is the barrel of a gun. No one would leave home unless home chased you to the shore. No one would leave home until home is a voice in your ear saying--leave, run, now. I don't know what I've become.”

“Because I want to know! Sometimes, you can use what you know, but that's not what counts most. I want to know everything there is to know. Not because it's any use, but for the pleasure of knowing, and now I demand that you teach me everything you know, even if I will never be able to use it.”

and sometimes, the men--they come with hammers.”

“Hooyo, patron saint of
my children have different passports to me.
Hooyo, blessed saint of
raising them too far from home.
I don't recognize my own children
they speak and dream in the wrong language
as much as I understand
it may as well be the language of birds.”
