phone rings thrice in the blackness. Lights full on ANIMA in the apartment, lying sideways on the floor and wheezing. large bucket of dead wildflowers festers in the corner and a beat-up second-hand sofa lingers crookedly in the center of the room. Slats of morning light blanche the floor and ANIMA's rumpled clothing, which appears not to have been...
My goodness you're on the floor well I'm here it took me long enough it's a five hour flight the bus system here is appalling is that my room? CHRISTA steps over ANIMA and exits. ANIMA wheezes. The slats of light creak across the floor and it is now afternoon. CHRISTA re-enters the room with her camcorder poised at her eye.
Wow, you're still on the floor well I have nothing to do until my meeting at seven with my new classmates over coffee how grad school of us I'm going to check out the neighborhood right now you have an interesting place or should I say we CHRISTA aims the camcorder lens at her face.

It was the third one that did it at three thirty in the morning in the night or the night/morning that no one can seem to make up their mind about which is it really, not even the sky that stays dark until it's damn good and ready to lighten up even when you are not. The third ring that shot me out of bed and for no apparent reason made me feel urg...

Put Mom on. MOM appears, wearing a housecoat and an old-fashioned nurse's cap. Mom hello you sound so tired how are you... Mom says this and this and this and then she says Are you sure you want to come home?
After the phone went down again I told naked Him that she had asked me that. She's not thinking right now, he said, with all the authority of a piece of wet seaweed. I called her back and you know what I was thinking? Boy, when I get phone bill next month I'm going to see this date and this call and remember it was the day I lost my male parent. ...
And me tucking a flyaway hair behind my ear and saying, "I'm okay now. It was difficult at first. But I'm okay now." SO.

No, it's what I needed, my lollipop roommate straddling my line of vision twice a day so I could check out her lacey underpants That's nasty
There was no where else to look, hell of a lot more interesting than the carpet
