Epistle 13

[missedyourheart]

What a fascinating day. I should say that I am hearing things I never thought I would hear from some of the refined ladies of the City.

A gentleman of past acquaintance once said, "Women are meant to be loved, not understood." Perhaps. But perhaps not. Today does seem to put the lie to his words.

Shit, there's no understanding women, pal.

[missedyourheart]

Then you will find today troubling, won't you?

[housewares_ash]

Oh god. Do I even want to know?

[missedyourheart]

Look around, good sir, and tell me what you find.

[housewares_ash]

Great. Another guy who doesn't want to talk straight.

[missedyourheart]

I have never been enamored of American-style candor - lack of grace and wit masquerading as honesty.

[housewares_ash]

Grace is overrated. A lot more style in simplicity, if you know what I mean.

[missedyourheart]

Yes. You mean you're American.

[housewares_ash]

You got something against the good old US of A, pal?

[missedyourheart]

America is the only country that went from barbarism to decadence without civilization in between.

[housewares_ash]

Civilization, also overrated. Give me strip malls and strippers, any day.

[missedyourheart]

Indeed. Well, one cannot go slumming if there are no slums.

[housewares_ash]

Well ain't you Mister Fancy-Pants.

[missedyourheart]

I assume you mean that as a rhetorical question.

All this class mingling is novel but ultimately tiresome.

[housewares_ash]

Fine by me. Enjoy that stick up your ass.

[missedyourheart]

A word: bathing goes far.
