Screenshot of the poem: "The Night Office" The dripping amber of nightfall moves like syrup through the air where I lie looking backward into things that have not yet happened Somewhere the moon sang me to sleep while I with a glittering eye lay fallow using my moments to buy time Somewhere the moon sang me to sleep These dreams unrecognized as play things against the gods who thwart us

A page from the novel "Penny Harper" by Jack Beltane reads: “I don’t think it was by choice,” I decided. “I used to wonder if I listened to Ozzy because he shared my worldview, or if listening to Ozzy formed my worldview. The other night, Tobie said, ‘Jack, if you didn’t already share his worldview, he would have scared you too much to listen to him’.” “That girl’s a genius.” We clinked bottles in a toast to Tobie. “There’s a reason I still listen to Diary of a Madman, Niz. It comforts me to know I’m not the only one who wonders if they're insane, who wants all the fucking pressure of our fucking society to just leave him the fuck alone. Yeah, sure, I was an outsider, but that doesn’t mean I wanted to be an outsider. It’s just how I am.” ‘“Okay—but he was also a millionaire drug addict when he said that shit, Bells. He didn’t have to care.” “Doesn't matter. Cuz think about it, man—the albums I’ve carried through my whole life, from middle school to now, tell a story: Theatre of Pain, Diary of a Madman, The Last In Line... That’s how I think, all the fucking time.” I held up a hand to stop him intermpting. “I’m fine with where I am—I love my life. I love Tobie. I love my kids. But I still feel like an outsider. It’s like, I want to be part of the world, but not on their terms, and that’s not how it works, and it drives me fucking nuts.”
