"No one can say you aren't distinct. I could see you from a mile away."

"Really? I thought black from head to toe was the perfect camoflage."

"I just look for a human-shaped nexus that sucks in all of the surrounding sunlight. Like a black hole."

"You do a lot for me, even when you're not around. I haven't believed in anything for years. But you inspire me. You inspire me to believe."

My favorite conversations are the ones that flow like dialogue from a well-written novel. Usually, they occur between two incredibly verbose individuals who have known each other for some time. They are rare. And to my ears, they are wonderful.

If only I could capture such flawless spontaneity in my own writing, I would be an authress unsurpassed by man or god! Perhaps I should simply spend all my hours eavesdropping and transcribe everything I hear.
