Cecilia wrote a screenplay that’s better than anything I’ve done. Not that what I’ve done is any good. Some people don’t read what I write and have the tactlessness to start a conversation about why and when and where they didn’t read it—though for some reason even this banality is…

As if it still breathed.

Visible

The Washington Square Arch

Even though I said I didn’t want to live in New York, I would like to have moments in Washington Square Park after classes at NYU.  I would have enjoyed those times.

Tonight’s game at Fenway was wonderful, exhilarating, and so exciting, despite a little rain. I love Boston and this park. So glad to spend another night here.

I make it real by putting it into words. It is only by putting it into words that I make it whole; this wholeness means that it has lost its power to hurt me; it gives me, perhaps because by doing so I take away the pain, a great delight to put the severed parts together. Perhaps this is the strongest pleasure known to me.

the mystery of a brightly lit apartment 

Part of me would have liked to spend some time in New York and live in a small apartment, even though I feel like the city might have swallowed me up.  There are so many lives being lived in those windows.

I shook my hand for seemingly the 10th time, willing blood to flow back into my reddened, sore mits. Most of the city seemed to be staying in, catching the storm from the comfort and warmth of their bed but I was out experience hunting. I had never seen a snowfall in October and I had no plans of missing this one. 

I will miss the snow and the covered benches.  Sometimes it would snow before my birthday, eliminating autumn before it even began.
