So I studied philosophy
And religion
And theology
And myth

Many people
Many modern people
Would regard this
As a colossal waste of time

They might be right.
I am now 53
Unemployed
On disability
Living alone

The Bangkok temples at night are quiet
The traffic outside is loud
But inside
The Buddha sits.
Silencio.

A different kind of man
That's what the General's father says
In Embers.
Chopin, not a soldier

He's actually her ex-boyfriend
The Joker
But if he lets her go
It would hurt her
Not help

Lunch time: miso soup with kelp.
