Possible to be Weary: NORA
Heya Nora, thanks for thinking of me. I’m old enough to be your dirty uncle. I just purchased my ticket home on the 19th of Dec. until Jan 2. Listen, short-stack, we should hang out soon. I’m not teaching this semester (enforced sabbatical) which means I’m ready for you to show me the seedier side of things sometime. And I don’t mean late night photos of some other guy sucking on your foot. What passes for painting these days. Though it’s no small consolation to note your unease over referring to it as a self-portrait (which one, christ), keeping me up late at night while I’m trying to grade papers is unkind. As I write this, I have a very serious face.
Last night I watched Twilight Part Deux and read the Duino Elegies at the same time. Is it possible that both could make me feel the same thing? I must be irreparably broken, but then angels and vampires do have some things in common.
Exile, right?
Simon
