Lunch With Long Forgotten Friends

They eat chicken Caeser salads and complain of their (tall dark and poor, short blond and rich) boyfriend’s habits of waiting up for them at night, and leaving the toilet seat up. They talk of local politics, trips to the Caribbean, and of learning Italian. Anticipating with equal eagerness messages from the office or lover, they never put down their Smartphones.Stocking up on lipstick while worrying about gas mileage, rogues, and finances, they seem content.

Having (once again) misplaced my phone, my hands are free to eat a seafood salad consisting of squid and something hidden behind seaweed. My trips are to Berlin, Johannesburg, Miami and Argentina. Progressively interpreted my boyfriends are non-existent OR spread across the globe, dark and sweet or pale and bright. They don’t wait for me, nor I for them. In an effort to prevent dry flight lips, and to prevent the pulmonary embolus that result from the insidious blood clots formed from the stagnant extremity of long flights, I hoard chap-stick and aspirin. I worry about the refugee and the asylum seeker.

I yawn.

I am bowed, crooked, fitting in to this world only on a slant.

….Is Back

I’ve read (on Kindle) just today….

A good fast read. I recommend it as gift to friends and enemies.

I’ve seen a video in which Penn Ji fucking lette does a good job justifying his stint as a contestant on Celebrity Apprentice.

Then I remember that he used to star in a show called Bull Shit.

I’ve listened to Bert Jansch’s cover of Angie, and Amy Winehouse’s cover of Will You Love Me Tomorrow, thanks to the various In Memoriam posts at Starmaker Machine.

Will You Love me Tomorrow.

I will miss 2011. It was good to me.The Year of ~~Living Dangerously~~ no obstructions. It didn’t get in my way. 2011 gave me what I wanted — no obstacles.

Peace
