        I just wanted to let her know.  I wanted her to know and I used too 
 many words and I talked too fast and my thinking is coming too fast, the 
 words are there too much and it is like I am not telling her what I think 
 but part of what I feel but even that is all hidden and I can only talk 
 about music and not what has opened up inside me. 

        I was sad.  That was not long ago.  Maybe a week ago I was sad and 
 now there are too many words and thoughts but it is good, I am thinking a 
 lot, lots of thoughts all the time, thoughts and feelings are there.  I see 
 how I was not feeling before and now it is all feeling and I like her music. 
 I did not, I mean I must not have tried before, or maybe I was closed up 
 like a bathtub stopper.  But now the stopper came out of the tub but the tub 
 flowed from reverse, the water came out of the drain and filled up and now I 
 am full and, wait, too much, I need to tell Kyra how I feel.   

        Kyra told me I was too sad and I was and I may still be but I am 
 really happy and have so much energy but I am also sad and it is not like 
 Kyra likes me but she'll talk to me and I like to talk to Kyra. 

        (and I like to stand in air, far from the ground) 

        But Kyra likes psychedelic music and I guess I do too.  Now I do, I 
 like it a lot, I listen to it a lot.  Last week I didn't like it, now I 
 listened and I love it, I think I really love it and the music is fun, maybe 
 I was missing the fun before and maybe I am more fun now and I like it when 
 they sing my name at school. 

        "Where oh where can my Tommy be?"  I get the joke now and it is funny 
 and I laugh with them and not get upset at them laughing at me and I like 
 Kyra.  She is not laughing at me, she laughs with me. 

        (the tree is strong, I like trees too, I like them a lot, forever I 
 will like trees.) 

        I talked to Kyra and I said, "Mercury Rev.  You were right, I didn't 
 know it before but you were right and it is good music and I didn't know 
 before.  I didn't know.  I didn't know." 

        Kyra smiled. 

        I love when she smiles and she said she was glad that I liked it and 
 said I should listen to Captain Beefhart and I'll like that too. 

        (I like swinging.) 

        When I was a kid I would go on the swing sets and swing and I loved 
 it, you are off the ground and wild and in space and out of the world and 
 still in control.  I need to be in control, but it is too much and I am in 
 control but I am letting myself live now, finally, and I like psychedelic 
 music and I like Kyra. 

        Things are moving fast, moving too fast and I cannot slow down my 
 mind.  My mom was talking to my father and though I did not hear clearly I 
 know they are up to something.  They talked in that way that I know they are 
 planning something and maybe it is about Kyra and maybe it is worse.  I wish 
 I knew, I really wish, wish, wish, wish.  There is too much going on, I 
 don't know what to do.  If I told it all to Kyra, if I said every last 
 word -- look at all these words, too many words, too much I don't 
 understand -- (why are my parents plotting against me) if I said every 
 word to Kyra, she could help.  Every word.  I need to say them all, start 
 talking now and stop when I am done and then Kyra...  Kyra, will she talk to 
 me?  Maybe she hates me now.  I can't stop thinking, I cannot stop anything, 
 why did I start this?  I was happier when I was sad.  No, I am happy now, I 
 am happy, I need to listen to music. 

        (I like the feel of rope on my neck.) 

        One last little bit, one final word and I'll be silent forever.  I 
 know that my parents are planning something really bad and I cannot stop it 
 except this way.  One final way to make them shut up.  Everybody will now 
 shut up, or at least I won't hear them.  I hope Kyra won't be mad.
