“Behind these fences are big houses; the houses of plump-skinned people who soften their problems by bathing them in money. You are half the height of their garden gates. A light clicks on as you pass, and someone calls to a pet before closing a heavy door. It’s not so cold tonight. You breathe in, note the freshness here: the air within the air. You could have this. You should have this, living as you have done in a world of no.”
