Move from man to boy and back without really thinking. The Pepsi Colas of a summer afternoon sweat upon the exaggerated curlicue serifs of the faux engraved glass. As the years go on winters become an agony of dryness. Who has changed? The myth of eternal return is played out in a supermarket.

You speak so sweetly. I owe it to the soft drinks of my youth. By this age my father and my uncles drank whisky nightly. We lack their stamina or their legacy of pain.

What passes for conversation on the commuter train.
