— I want you to go home and write.
And I exhale
It’s easy for you to say
— That’s why I say it.
He’s looking about
Expression all in the curling of the eyebrows
Agitation
— Not agitation necessarily.
– You should come here.
— Yeah.
– It’s not a very interesting place.
— It’s interesting. It’s like a drug this place. For me.
Staring
— What it does to me.
There are all kinds of drugs
I’m reminded of the different kinds of drugs
The density of information might be what appeals to him
The sheer weight of pragmatism
— Isn’t tomorrow supposed to be a holiday?
– I get time off. Later.
— Make sure you take it.
– I’ll take it.
Plans for holidays next year
— I didn’t mean that.
– No I’ll take it this week. Next week maybe.
Memories of images and sound from the weekend
Reshuffled
Re-ordered
To make more sense to him
I can feel him rearranging everything
Always a great constructor of abstracts
— Constructions?
Any abstract works
Live things
Things born
Things made
They have a purpose just as pragmatic
— But much more interesting.
This is more or less true
I look at the glass on my desk
The water in it
The distortions of the light
Reminding me of the duality
— I don’t think two is quite enough.
– Correct.
But I have no concern for terminology
Particularly with him
He knows what I mean
— I thought language was important.
– Not the written abstract of it.
Which makes sense
— It feels weird talking.
Talking verbally
He should say it feels weird being written as verbally talking

All the people are strangers
I can hear their voices
Pragmatic people in a pragmatic environment
Their work
Their personal calls to their families
The sounds of keystrokes
He’s wandered off
Perhaps out at Accounts
I hear him anyway
— This is seriously like a video-game.
– How so?
— There’s a lot of good material here.
There certainly is
Always has been
— I remember something you said about feeding it. That this can feed it. Makes sense. There’s a lot here.
The others are off doing whatever they are doing
I miss most of it
I wish I could see it
The fragments I translate are beautiful and relevant
— More relevant than this.
– Yes.
Yes
