“Yeah, he'd said, maybe it's just my idea, but really it always hurts, the times it don't hurt is when we just forget, we just forget it hurts, you know, it's not just because my belly's all rotten, everybody always hurts. So when it really starts stabbing me, somehow I feel sort of peaceful, like I'm myself again”

To their surprise, I was no longer taking the beating, I was giving it.”

I'd say, "You know, I really feel crumby, my hips are hurting …"”
