During the week we spent together I took off my shoes, let down my hair, took apart my psyche, cleaned the pieces, and put them together again in much improved condition. I feel like a car that’s just had a tune-up. Only another woman could have acted as the mechanic.”

catch tossed crumbs in midair.
When anyone hears the Catbird
he gets lonesome.”
