Put on thoughts in a minute. Dress oneself up in phrases, hats, skyscrapers, and become somebody. Rachel's eyes livened slowly. Pleasant to be nobody a bodyless, meaningless smile awake in the morning. Opened eyes on a pillow. A deep, deep sigh on a pillow. An oblong of sunshine on the floor. A happy bed. A happy ceiling.
