Idem Sterco Antiquum

“The whole story of man and woman is an immense and subtly constructed intrigue, or it is a trick calculated to destroy man as a spirit.”

I’m beginning to feel the weight of it all: the quiet nights, movies piled up on the edge of the television; a collection of bottles placed neatly beside the chair. Even the cool air from an open window can’t remove the stain of coffee from the air. I flip the egg and butter the toast. Chew-chew-swallow. Drink.
