Warts And Discoloration

Invited to lunch

Intermittency.

For example, with the sun, with the bursting of heat.

Although there are white clouds and cold feeling safe, children play outside today and hide between the cars. It's someone's birthday. A special day.

Intermittency.

Sometimes I sleep three hours and sometimes ten. This night was ten. I am surrounded by books all over, I compose a new puzzle reads: for a long time since I enjoyed this concentration. Leo stories. A friend gave me the other day to Lorrie Moore and I have enjoyed two of his stories (one of them I've read it twice, "that for years?). Look forward to the third, but I chose wrong: I started with the most famous story Birds of America and the first words were baby and tumor and said: bah, better give him a chance to Alice Munro. Total. In the flash is the secret. Sometimes even pleasure. Munro also has challenged me. It is a joy that these stories come at me like this glass water, fresh water taken from the sink! In between, minitesoros that are classics (the mind, or is it the heart?, Those sunny mornings in Seville, when instead of going to college we drank coffee and beer after another and someone bought me books Alianza Cien with perfect font size, always yellow, since the first edition): Artificios . In the title page, a blue Bic pen: 1997, PG

A thawing bass, soon to be bloody. Cook something else, although I later breakfast. I also do such things : trim curtains, blah. I would not, want not. I brought the paper this morning and flipped through the pathetic supplement while drinking coffee. I am a ball around outside world. I feel disconnected from the disaster, economic virulence, pulse revolutionary. I pay attention to what it says on the radio, I do so by hand: shhh, hush, I am listening. But I do not understand anything. Soon, my mind wanders by about it everyday and imminent. I open a book and read. I look at the navel. I phone and speak several minutes with my mother, anything, from the smallest. I have no shame. (Almost like the president, almost as a candidate for president, almost as a dictator.)
