"But I don't care about context Rick," says Mindy. "If you want to know the truth I don't really care that much about Lenore. And I don't care about some book, which I have no idea what you're talking about, which first you say you wrote, then you say is the Bible, then you say is the dictionary, then you say is the Sears Catalogue, so what am I supposed to think? But anyway I don't care about that." Mindy crosses her arms over her bra. The moon is white jelly through the top of her hair. "Honestly," she says.

"But it's essential to the whole story," says Rick. He is playing with his stomach, over the band of his underpants.

"Or about alphabets of old people, or children singing like birds, or fat men chewing on buildings, or phone crews fis.h.i.+ng in black air, or people eating each other's membranes-you can just stop whispering about all of it, because I don't care about it right now."

"What do you want," says Rick.

Mindy taps a foot on the floor. "I either want to watch the bird's show, here, which by the way don't think I've forgotten you practically promised to call, last night ..."



"I forbid you to look at it directly."

"... Or then I want to know where my husband and ditzy little Lenore are, so I can begin to take steps. What branch are they supposed to be at?"

"Lenore Beadsman and W.D.L. are finished," Rick says. He looks around him, his shadow on the flowing wall. "They're over."

"Rick sweetie I'm so trying to be nice but that's just a lie," says Mindy. She comes to stand at the bed. "Can't you tell what's a lie? I don't know what happened to you today, and how could I since you won't tell me, but you're in bad shape if you sincerely think people are done who are obviously not done, I've got to tell you. I've got to think you're either lying for fun, or you're maybe just not a well man. Daddy always said you weren't a hundred percent."

Rick looks up at Mindy.

"Honestly," Mindy says. She looks back at the television. "I can just watch the news, you know." Rick keeps looking at her. "I can just watch the news at eleven, if you want to be a little dung beetle about it," she says. "Why lie if I can just find out the truth in a couple hours?"

"I think you're confused," says Rick.

/d "Well no I'm not angry, you silly," says Mindy, kneeling in front of the television. Cold light comes out from between her fingers, on the screen.

"I promise to tell," Rick says, looking down at himself.

"I know you'll tell," Mindy says softly into the television. White s.h.i.+mmers melt down her back. Drops of light stop and start. She reaches back with her free hand, tosses her hair out of the way, unhooks herself.

"What are you doing?"

Mindy rises and turns and slides out of everything, moving her hips.

"I said I'd tell," says Rick.

"I know you will," says Mindy. "I know you're upset, but I feel like I just know you will." She comes to the bed. Her body moves a million ways in the wet white light. Behind her Rick can see a flickering hand, dead and cold. It covers everything.

"I really will," he whispers.

Mindy touches his leg. Light comes out of his leg, between her fingers.

"Don't you worry about anything," she says. "I know you."

"You can trust me," R. V. says, watching her hand. "I'm a man of my
