novembre ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ships sailing through a sea of [diet coke and] black tea setting about making my apartment cute was the easy part. the kitchen is kitchsy now. formica table and four (count them, four) matching chairs. clean and uncluttered counters. beads strung across windowsills, small yellow lace curtains and two strings of plastic lights shaped like oranges. i put two of her votive candles on the table over the irregularly shaped piece of gold taffeta i found months ago at a thrift store. judy's lithograph is on the wall, a drawing of the eiffel tower and the words mon esprit est dams un autre endroit, which mean my thoughts are in another place. mine are lodged in telephone recievers. in the answering machines of friends i haven't seen in weeks. 9:42 pm - 05.09.02 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
