I'd Rather Be A Flash Than A

Certainly Working With Teens Keeps Me Up To Date With Language And With Certain Kinds Of Thinking. I Often Feel Like I Have To Go Back To That 17-year-old Chris Crutcher, And That Forms The Core Voice. I Can Draw On Teens From 1964 To 2001 To Find A Part Of The Voice I Need.

But The Truth Doesn't Need To Be Known, Or Believed, To Be True.

It's A Scary Thing; Moving On. Part Of Me Wishes Life Were More Predictable And Part Of Me Is Excited That It's Not. I Think It's Impossible To Tell The Good Things From The Bad Things While They're Happening.

If You Were To Look At Each Atom As A Universe Unto Itself, Think Of The Number Of Universes Within Each Of Us.

Once A Thing Is Known,it Can't Be Unknown.
