I Just Want to Fit In.

I saw it at A Guache's.
1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open to page 23.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the sentence on your blog along with these instructions.

So here goes:

"Piojosa heard him leaping through the trees like her heart inside her clothes, to drop to her path of black honey with his fingers like arrowheads to put her to death, seeing her closed eyes from whose seams, badly sewn by her eyelashes, butterflies emerged--he was not dead, and her catepillar tears had turned to butterflies--speaking to her with his silence, possessing her with a tooth and cactus-tree love. He was it's tooth and she it's cactus-tree gum."


Good thing it was page twenty-three because the fifth sentence on page twenty-two is:

"Roasted calabashes."
