When we die, these are the stories still on our lips. The stories we’ll only tell strangers, someplace private in the padded cell of midnight. These important stories, we rehearse them for years in our head but never tell. These stories are ghosts, bringing people back from the dead. Just for a moment. For a visit. Every story is a ghost.

The first time we meet another person an insidious little voice in our heads says, I might wear eyeglasses or be chunky around the hips or a girl, but at least I'm not Gay or Black or a Jew. Meaning: I may be me- but at least I have the good sense not to be YOU.
