going going gone

A large part of becoming an adult is learning how to remain a child.

People one meets in hostels -- phantasms, physical representations of ephemera, doors that are just as real as they are imaginary, flung open in a way proportionate to the amount of revelations one can have. It is all music, all intervals, sudden loss of electricity that turns everyone to cigarettes and noise-making. I will see your never. Herringbone. Houndstooth. Paisley. Arabesque on ice.

"Coma is for the living." -- Beckett, Malone Dies

I'll be back in five weeks.
Them bears ain't got nuthin' on me.
