       | Orpheus 
            has divine blood. He's shot in the thigh in Denver on the fourth of July in a 
            drive-by.
 He limps two blocks to the `Y'.
 In the bath he watches the mouth of the would expel the bullet and 
            seal itself
 with a little burst of bubbles like a mollusc withdrawing into its 
            fort.
 If he cut his throat would song gush out?
 Divine blood of music.
 Eurydice was music.
