It Follows Page #2

scuttling across floors of silent seas"

And the afternoon, the evening,

sleeps so peacefully.

Smoothed by long fingers,

Asleep tired or it malingers,

Stretched out on the floor,

here beside you and me.

Should I, after tea and cakes and ices,

Have the strength to force

the moment to its crisis?

But though I have wept and fasted,

wept and prayed,

Though I have seen my head

(grown slightly bald)

brought in upon a platter,

I am no prophet

and heres no great matter;

I have seen the moment

of my greatness flicker,

And I have seen the eternal Footman

hold my coat, and snicker,

And in short, I was afraid.

And would it have been worth it, after all,

After the cups, the marmalade, the tea,

Among the porcelain,

among some talk of you and me,

Would it have been worth while,

To have bitten off the matter with a smile,

To have squeezed the universe into a ball

To roll it toward some

overwhelming question,

To say:
I am Lazarus, come from the dead,

Come back to tell you all,

I shall tell you all

If one, settling a pillow by her head,

Should say:

That is not what I meant at all;

That is not it, at all.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Hello?

Hello.

There's an old woman at school today.

And she's staring at me.

It was like she was following me.

Did you know her?

No, but she freaked me out.

I didn't go back to class.

Did she say something to you?

Hugh told me that.

He passed it on to me.

He said it was going to follow me.

That's all bullshit,

Jamie.

Yeah, I know.

What exactly is suppose to be

following you?

I don't know.

You should tell mom what you saw.

No.

Jay.

I'm worried about you.

I could.. stay over tonight,

If it would make you feel any better.

- No.

- No.

Sleep on the couch

or something.

No.

Maybe just on the couch.

You should be more

worry about waking up

and finding Paul

humping you leg.

Um...

I choosing to ignore all these insults

to my character.

Just,

keep your door locked.

Look.

I'm going to stay up all night,

And keep an eye out for anything weird.

Nothing is going to happen,

okay.

I can't sleep.

Not in there.

That's okay.

Just sleep here.

Are you okay?

Everything is going to be cool.

That's funny.

I haven't spent a night over here

since we were kids.

There's a reason for that.

Shut up.

I'm...

serious.

It's cool spending time with you.

Yeah.

You're my first kiss,

you know.

I know.

Is that not yours?

No uh.

You were.

And then you kissed Kelly.

She told me.

You kiss your sisters,

that's kind of gross.

Do you

remember

the time.

That we found those

porno magazines

in the alley by Barry's pizza?

Yeah.

We're such stupid kids.

Ridiculous.
