DANCEDUO.BMF

An angular illustration of a man and woman dancing, early 80s electronica thumping in the background. Here, now, in the present, Jack studies the man. The shades, the New Wave hair, the parachute pants. Jack swears he knows him. He remembers that night only in flashes. The man peeling away from the girl, slipping with Jack into the bathroom, a line or two of coke, the exhilaration, the sweat, the sweet, the sour. Jack slams his laptop shut. Fuckin' clipart, he thinks, it ain't worth shit.

I have had this dwarf acer over 30 years and moved house with it twice. I think it’s grateful that I took it out of its pot and planted it in the garden and every autumn it turns to this wonderful red to say thank you.

Yvette Guilbert lui dit: - «N'est-ce pas, Monsieur Wilde, que je suis la femme la plus laide de France?» - - Il s'incline et répond avec grâce: - «Du monde, Madame, du monde!»
