from And Then In There
It was funny, in a way. The way that things occurred. You held yourself so simply, I thought. I only ever wished that I was a better person. There were times when I thought I stood out. There were times when I thought I lived obscurely. I can’t wait, I said. I was sitting very simply. My legs were crossed. I felt cool in the weather. I was thinking about what I might want to eat for dinner. I was thinking about where I might have something to eat. It was a very nice day. The air was cool. I was talking to you. But there was something to do. There was something doing. I could feel my fingers when I moved them. I could feel my toes. I could see you from where I was standing on the patio. I was always looking at something. I think this thing is swell, I said. It was funny. I was typically very forthcoming. I am very forthcoming, I thought. / / ~
