Love’s Wanting





For bad reasons unable to be stated, at least directly to Rina—not right now at any rate—last weekend the poor dear was unable to be received. Couldn’t be done. CNY opened other vistas, unable to be resisted. This afternoon, Tuesday, the poor darling already thinking ahead to the weekend, possibilities. Characteristically, Rina hopes quietly, tentatively, peaceably:

Dear this week you wnt go same were agean ar not? If go mi don came ok

What good would protests and complaints do?... And odd to recall how we have switched positions these eighteen months later, the boot on the other foot now.
