SIXTY-NINE

who knows. maybe i'll see you again someday. stranger things have happened after all.

it's a small city

we'll see.

 

or not

 

we'll see. one way or the other.

 

what's there to see exactly?

 

there's this movie that i like. that i watched again the other night.

these two characters have a very brief affair. and it comes to an abrupt and odd end.

one of them says to the other as it's ending: "what's wrong with you?"

and the other replies: "let me think about that. i'll tell you the next time i see you."

to which: "sure. tell me then."

on my first 1 or 2 viewings, i always thought the one *believed* they would see the other again, and that they would say just what was wrong with them. but this last time, on friday, i recognized that they only said it because they knew they would never see the other again.

what's there to see, K----? I don't know. and that's ok.

 

ah, what a hemingway-esque dialogue. yes, it's okay.

it was a month ago today.
