Anyway, as a janitor I woke up at 5:00 a.m. Beyond each pane were the outlines of things coming—a world drawn fresh from the memory of yesterday.

My job started at 6:00 a.m. I wore blue overalls. I had a heavy key. There was a cupboard of mops, brushes, and basic tools. There were insects living in the cupboard, but they were there before me, so I tried not to disturb them.

I shared ideas with the people who came. They were not all idiots and criminals; there were intelligent ones too, respected men and women with jobs and homes, families who would visit and sob quietly.

Patients came and went. Some escaped and left their bodies behind. I thought I’d die in there too, and I wanted to, mostly in the evening.

Yet here I am, years later, between this page and your eye. Part of someone else’s story.
