sleep) — «He went to church and he started to have nightmares.

This morning he said, he had a dream of how this world was going to end…

it wasn’t any good.

He said, he couldn’t go on making his art, it didn’t express his ideas.

He’s only 6.

Last night, I slept outside by the pond.

It was beautiful.

So clear…

he couldn’t go on.»
