The Shadow of my Door (aka EST) -- 1/21/98 I was yelling at darkness, over the constant hum of my nightlight that I could only hear when it was really quiet, "Your Grandmother is on the phone!" the darkness shouted back at me and in my yoga-like posture I bobbed over and picked it up. "Hi, were you sleeping?" a thick, New York accent asked me over 1,000s of miles and amid clickings and possible wire-taps. "Yes, I mean, no, not yet," I replied, my eyes already sagging and after we talked about nothing I yawned goodbye and hung up. |
