Dear Zazie,
In your letter, Thinking About That Time, you ask, do I remember? Do I remember!? Only every other memory. Only every single detail: where we were; the way you looked; the way I felt with you by my side as we walked those marble-lined halls of forever.
Of course I was excited. Around you, I always felt that way. And I was excited about my idea. As you well know, I live for writin’. My idea was driven by one of my favorite quotes, from one of my favorite poets:
“I am still of opinion that only two topics can be of the least interest to a serious and studious mood – sex and the dead.”
William Butler Yeats
It was a quick change of two words from that quote that led to my idea and still inspires my writin’; love. Love and the sorrow. So yes I was very excited. There could be no better place to pitch my idea. And there could only be one person to pitch it to. So glad I did. So glad you said yes.
I agree, our banter was so much fun. It was like the beginnin’ of a new relationship. Like fallin’ in love. And we did. In our own way. Oh I remember. All too well…
Indeed, after all this time. You and your critters and your garden. Me, and the sun risin’ and settin’ on my verse. Let us talk about love. Nothin’ would please me more.
