Toni Jordan Quotes

It's Been Years Since I Tried To Count The Stars. I Spent A Lot Of Long Teenage Nights Staring Up There Trying To Count Them. I Needed To Know Their Number. I Remember Waiting Until The Whole House Was Quiet, Until My Parents' Soft Voices In The Room Next To Mine Had Stopped. I Remember Sneaking Out The Window In My Nightie, No Slippers On My Feel, And Lying Down In The Middle Of The Lawn. It Was Cold But I Didn't Care. I Would Stare At The Sky, But The Fucking Things Move. I Tried To Imagine The Sky As A Grid, Drawing Lines From Objects On The Ground. I Tried Scanning It With An Aluminum-foil Tube. I Tried Everything. Nothing Works.
