"you may keep small electronic de- vices on, but please make sure all cellular capabilities are switched off." then they switch off the cabin lights, and I am here in the dark, iPod assaulting my eardrums as iPhone assaults my retinas. this is How It's Meant To Be me and my ephemeral avarice, my electronic yearning; Bethany Cosentino is crooning, a private concert for one, I wish Allen Ginsberg was my boyfriend; the other boy isn't like me, he's prettier but that's nothing new is it? of course, Ginsberg is dead and also forgotten, by and large; same for D. H. Lawrence, Caravaggio, Joan d'Arc, all those I drew upon for my Wilde persona. there is only me now, and I am alone.
