To anyone expecting email etc., I have you saved listed tucked away and up on the empty shelf so as not to pack you in a box between photos and dresses; am slowly writing letters and returning phone calls. It's just that this move has been long coming but still unexpected and it has caught me unprepared and emotional so please, and thank you, be patient.

Treatise

Much of our time
     has been spent in this way.
Paging through old notebooks.
Pacing endlessly.
Crying on each others' shoulders.
Singing in the bathtub.
Looking for stores that are not there.
Making faces at the camera,
     and singing each other to sleep

I did find time to go see Pirates of the Caribbean.
Review:
Rent and watch Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
Find pirate hat and boots. And eyeliner.
See Raoul Duke lurch about with accent, lingeringly caressing ship while showing no interest whatsoever in breasts.
