America (the book) is making a lot more sense now

He will either hit you or simply carry on dancing around in front of you like a man possessed."

Awesome notes on running/NY Marathon: "Can we speak of suffering freely entered into as we might speak of a state of servitude freely entered into? ... They also dream... of bringing a victory message, but... their message has lost all meaning: it is merely the message of their arrival... the twilight message of a futile, superhuman effort... The marathon is a form of demonstrative suicide, suicide as advertising"

It is raining now and a bra strap has slipped down, which is perfect. The sound of frogs now seems completely perfect at last. Like the sound of a vagina, because, after all, we would be cavorting now. It would be one of those times when I luxuriate completely and drew out everything--it is strange to absolutely know this, to feel this absolutely, and to do nothing but watch somehow as it goes by so very closely...
