This is the conversation we had before Simon became a doctor. Go figure.
SIMON. If you died, I would become that.
THE GIRL. What?
SIMON. Him.
THE GIRL. Who?
SIMON. That lying down cyclist.
We stare as the lying down cyclist passes at a clip.
THE GIRL. You would submit Elsie to that?
SIMON. She would be dead too.
THE GIRL. Morbid…
SIMON. Oh, and I would make it myself.
THE GIRL. …but extremely capable.

congrats simon!!!! yahhh!!!
For becoming a DOCTOR, minus a few points for morbidness…plus one for capability!
Pre- and post-doctoral thoughts are morbid. One loses all sense of hope temporarily!
Simon sees winter,
Rebecca thinks of Elsie,
Beyond lays a bike.
