Jeremy Thrane
“Scott must have gone to Matt’s; the apartment was empty. While the coffee brewed, I poured some of the sunflower seeds I’d bought on my way home last night into the dish in Juanita’s cage. She immediately got down to serious work on them, cracking and nibbling and dropping empty seed husks, every now and then cocking a suspicious eye at me, as if she were wondering what the hell I was doing watching her; didn’t I have anything better to do?
I wandered back into the tiny kitchen and put together... a sandwich of headless sardines lying snugly alternated, top to bottom, between two pieces of rye toast, anchored in place with a thick layer of mustard. When the coffee was ready, I breakfasted in my room, sitting on my bed while I ate, listening to Ted Hawkins and looking around at the half-folded shirts tumbling out of stacked milk crates, boxes of books, an old boom box on the floor with a pile of cassettes.
Scott invested all his money in permanent artifacts, things of beauty and style he would have forever; I spent mine on ephemera, food and drink, nights out, creature comforts that only made me fatter and taxed my liver and brought me closer to death.MoreLess
