Why have we never made memories in California? We’ve never been. I know. We should go and visit like it is fantasy. We can do that here. There is too much here. I see people at the store and they know my name. Is that a problem? I said it as if it is. You know them too. It does not matter. We’ll go up north, then. Okay. Okay? Okay, we’ll go up north. You say it as if it is part of our narrative, some step in a prophesy we haven’t found. I say it like I want to leave town. You say it like you still have an ink well and a lounge by the window. You do not read and you smoke cigarettes with no filters. Go with me to the store. That will be our trip.
