"Here’s what I know about the realm of possibility— it is always expanding, it is never what you think it is. Everything around us was once deemed impossible. From the airplane overhead to the phones in our pockets to the choir girl putting her arm around the metalhead. As hard as it is for us to see sometimes, we all exist within the realm of possibility. Most of the limits are of our own world’s devising. And yet, every day we each do so many things that were once impossible to us. "
"Just like that. From a hundred miles an hour
to asleep in a nanosecond. I wanted so badly
to lie down next to her on the couch,
to wrap my arms around her and sleep.
Not f---, like in those movies. Not even have sex.
Just sleep together,
in the most innocent sense of the phrase.
But I lacked the courage and she had a boyfriend
and I was gawky and she was gorgeous and
I was hopelessly boring and she was endlessly fascinating.
So I walked back to my room
and collapsed on the bottom bunk,
thinking that if people were rain,
I was drizzle and she was a hurricane."
