Secret Dreams
“As he often came late, no one remarked upon it. So the workday began without him. The act of spreading Emma and making her shout into the pillow had devoured him. Afterward, he dozed for half an hour and woke ravenous.
In a café near the hospital, he sat under an awning in the bracing May mist, plowing through rolls and coffee, three soft-boiled eggs, and four slices of ham in ten minutes. He even made notes on the napkin about his wonderful crazy dream. A rivalry between him and the old ma...n —- what delectable nonsense! No, the message of the crazy dream lay in his own prehistoric childhood…. Nanny Sasha scratching red weals down his father’s back. Prehistoric childhood. Damn good phrase, remember it! Besides, if he had nutty dreams after wild dinner parties, whose fault was that? He and the girl had essential things to talk about today, whatever his nightmares.
High time she moved out.
