Edwin wishes, powerfully, that he could share with John the way that makes him feel in the same way that he could share it with someone else, someone with a physical body. The warmth inside, the safe glow that is John and Jedao's influence in particular on Edwin's internal landscape. "Have you written poetry?"
Another question, one he's been wanting to ask but has been shy about and now just wants the chance to do again. "Can ew paint together when I get out? Can yoo teach em?"

"The sun has long been set, The stars are out by twos and threes, The little birds are piping yet Among the bushes and trees; There's a cuckoo, and one or two thrushes, And a far-off wind that rushes, And a sound of water that gushes, And the cuckoo's sovereign cry Fills all the hollow of the sky. Who would "go parading" In London, "and masquerading," On such a night of June With that beautiful soft half-moon, And all these innocent blisses? On such a night as this is!"
