it's been too hot outside to leave the house to go downtown to the museums and stand among barnett newman's fourteen stations and it's been too hot inside to focus on anything more than a just a few of jean stafford's short stories or a few of robert lowell's letters or a few of wallace steven's poems at once and instead i have been watching movies (all of twin peaks including fire walk with me in under two weeks, mullholand drive again, blow up) and thinking it would be better if i were in love and it would be better if i were five hundred miles north and it would be better if i were better and didn't fit all nine criteria in the dsm-iv for borderline personality disorder and didn't have to worry about what might happen when i move back north again and when i fall in love again.
