The men here, in this story, they exist as many men, all the men, the men that exist. All of these men exist. The father, the boy, the boy turned man, the man unfathering. Them, all these men, these boys, becoming one man. This will be the story of that one man. This will be the story of these men, grinding the world beneath their knuckles, sawdust eyes and freckled shoulders, muscles, unmoving mouths. Those men. This will be the silent story of those men, the ones that exist, the ones felling trees and building, becoming men, building themselves into boxes, their hearts into pasted hollow darkness, these men and all their existence, all their extinction, all their becoming.
