"What are you reading?" I ask, looking at my lips move like worms after rain. He finished the paragraph he's on. "Hegel," he says. I turn the sink on and wait for the water to get hot before turning it off again. Water sounds different when it's hot. "There's a dog at the park named Hegel," I say. "A German shepherd."
