When we say specimen we mean you. By you we mean whatever collection of night sweats and shopping lists accumulates in the bed by dawn. When we say dark we mean pitch, moonless, starless, don’t even open your eyes. When we say he has your eyes we mean we see nothing of you there. If you want someone to come for you, you’ll have to cry harder than that. If you want to be prepared, practice: blizzard, fire, famine. Your shoes or your coat? Your cat or your dog? Sister, daughter, mother, wife?
