Are they okay? Have husbands been dragged away from their wives by roaming mobs of burly bears in S&M masks and assless chaps? Do formerly straight ladies now bear crudely-etched bicep tattoos reading "Property of Big Sue"? Do the children understand that there's no such thing as having a mommy and a daddy anymore? Just curious.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."
-John Guare, Landscape of the Body
