excerpt:
<blockquote>When the call comes, be calm.
Say to your wife, "My brother is dying. I have to fly
to California."
Try not to be shocked that he already looks like
a cadaver.
Say to the young man sitting by your brother's side,
"I'm his brother,"
Try not to be shocked when the young man says,
"I'm his lover. Thanks for coming."</blockquote>
