Here, luckily, we have a specialist company which sells us boxes of frozen spring chickens. It’s a place that prepares everything zoos require, the handlers don’t personally have to cut up meat that’s been salvaged from abattoirs and declared unfit for humans, they can order from this wholesaler, and the dead rats, mice, chickens and processed meatballs can all be bought from this company.

You don’t flinch, you don’t sigh or grumble, you read, you write, you fill pages of notebooks, you pass tests and competitive exams, you study without striving, you are a step aside, behind, on the edge, you are vague, you’re light, indefinable, casual, you move through life as if it were a cloud, a fine mist, a gauzy, insubstantial material, you live like a sleepwalker, you are anaesthetised, numb, you’re dazed, nothing can rouse you. You learn that you can be together and alone. You’re hardly there.
