"...to enclose the present moment; to make it stay; to fill it fuller and fuller, with the past, the present and the future, until it shone, whole, bright, deep with understanding."

True Love III - Non è detto
Se è tanto bello perché non vivi lì?
Ecco, adesso ripartiamo con l'interrogatorio. Tu faresti strada nella polizia, lo sai?
Dimmi ancora soltanto questo. Perché non vivi lì, se lui è... se lì è così bello?
E una storia da grandi, lascia perdere.
Dimmi soltanto l'inizio.
L'inizio? Quale inizio?
Come inizia la storia?
Ma guarda che sei un bel tipo.
Per favore.
Ma niente, è la solita storia, è l'uomo della mia vita e io sono la donna della sua vita, tutto lì, solo che non siamo mai riusciti a vivere insieme, contento?
Grazie.
Non è neanche detto che se ami davvero qualcuno, ma tanto, la cosa migliore che puoi farci insieme sia vivere.
No?
Non è detto.
Ah.
Tre volte all'alba, Alessandro Baricco

A jewel hung
... my soul's imaginary sight
Presents thy shadow to my sightless view
Which, like a jewel hung in ghastly night,
Makes black night beauteous and her old face new.
Which, like a jewel hung in ghastly night,
Makes black night beauteous and her old face new.
- Shakespeare, Sonnet XXVII
I've dreamt again
Now these dreams of mine
(of you)
of anything but ours
have become funny
funny little tragedies
which are no tragedies at all
but just the imaginary of distance
ancient
archetypical
and true
as true as art
or literature
or music
or any other such fiction
truer
indeed
than we both are

The realm of chance
I bet it was an r
I'm pretty sure it began with an r
R as in too many requests
R as in rather reticent replies
R as in reporter, or the realm of chance
or
R as in rather not
A resonant initial R
with (maybe) a melodious d in the middle
but never as sweet as a sweet liquid l
either in between... or at the end
Then the bureocracy of the private industry
and time wasting itself away
or being denied
A problem of incompetence
let's say
even though we both tried
not to blush
