"ITS NIGHT OUTSIDE, or at least it ought to be.
In the bowels of the earth its always night the moles hour in the moles dominion. Do underground dwellers care about daylight? Not much. Youve been one with the earth for a while, and at first you thought it best not to move at all. Arent your bowels and the earths one and the same? A telluric voice speaks: abandon your bones now and forever, who the hell cares. Arent bones drumsticks for percussionists, flutes for flutists? Are you really that attached to those humeri, those tibiae, which at this point would hardly even rattle a kettledrum? Is there anything better than a cozy lie-down? Thousands of worried insomniacs would agree: the best hours are the hours of sleep. But all these years of stillness cannot possibly be good. Youd like to dance with those stiffened extremities, awaken the tips of your fingers and toes. If only I could free my fingers from their restraints and click them together again! You feel that instead of plumping your cheeks, the cement dentists use for their prostheses cakes your face besides, its hard to open your eyes, the guy who embalmed me wasnt exactly a pro, and a white dust drier than the soil itself has taken over a section of your brain: memory loss, magnesium, limescale."
