Darwin brought Paul a plate of scrambled eggs. Paul shook his head, but his head was filled with exploding drums of used motor oil. He stopped moving so the bed would lie still.

“There’s pills there. You should drink all the water. You’ll feel better faster, if you eat,” Darwin said. It sounded like experienced advice.

Paul ate the eggs. Darwin watched Paul eat, then vanished into the bathroom; no singing in the shower. Paul sat with his plate in his lap, remembering his phone call to Candy Vincent at 6 a.m., telling her that he had a serious case of the flu. She’d been very kind. He had never missed a Sunday service before. He wondered, in a detached way, if they had found anyone to replace him. The sun was high and white—a flame-white disc in silken mists above shining trees, like William Carlos Williams’s sun. Waving his shirt around his head, wasn’t he? Like the people on the dance floor last night.

“I am lonely, lonely,” Paul sang softly to himself, from the poem, padding downstairs with his plate. Nobody to hear him, Darwin still in the shower.

“I was born to be lonely, I am best so!” His bare feet made a strange noise walking around on the bare living room floor. He kind of liked the new pared-down look.
