“Cities at night, I feel, contain men who cry in their sleep and then say Nothing. It's nothing. Just sad dreams. Or something like that...Swing low in your weep ship, with your tear scans and sob probes, and you would mark them.

And the men will say, "Nothing. No it isn't anything really. Just sad dreams.”
