He no longer bears the cross of that interior life which proscribes rest, distraction, weaknesshe sleeps and thinks no longer, he has no more duties or chores, no, no, and I, old and tired, oh! I envy that he sleeps and will soon die.”

on a concrete continent
spaced with bland billboards
illustrating imbecile illusions of happiness”
