In the words of Annie Dillard…
Last night:
Head lice
Back in high school, ignoring the dress code
a locker without a door, and a sympathetic soul who proclaimed lockers and all they stood for “genteel” (this may not have been the word; it started with a “g,” and afterward was said to mean something superfluous that wealking bourgeoisie liked)
An ex-boyfriend, and the avoidance of him
Sleeping on the street
Cars parked without rhyme or reason
A phone booth on 63rd Street and Park Avenue in Manhattan
The night before:
The closed door to the place where many of my nightmares (awake and asleep) have occurred
I turn to a friend and say, “They ought to just open it. We know what’s behind there.”
