I have disguised us in the play, and deleted one brief melodramatic interchange.
3
I took mine home, where they sat above my computer while I worked on my first play.
3
Now I will mention it, in case I/You decide to restore it.
3
Shortly before she left, Tasha said, "You steal from life for art, Bernardo.
0
You'll impoverish yourself."
3
I only snarled at her and --
3
My story leaps ahead of itself.
2
Let me retreat and retrench:
2
One night during N'apulco's mild winter, Tasha returned to The Flamingo, saying, "Nardo!
0
"Nardo!
2
Nardo!
2
Guess what?"
0
My mind was on other things.
2
"You wish to become pregnant?
2
I suppose I could assist a friend.
3
Purely for the sake of the race, of course --"
0
"Ever the altruist.
0
Later, I said, "You've been chosen to succeed the Emperor."
3
"What?"
2
She batted at my nose like a cat.
2
"Silly Nardo."
3
"Then I give up."
2
"Emil Malaquez is buying the house up the hill."
1
One night when I did not believe love had ever existed for anyone, I used my own capturador, a sleek titanium Sanyo Tardar Ahora, to undo the stopbox.
3
"Oh."
0
"You don't know who he is?"
2
"Well..."
0
"Nardo!"
2
I am never so quick-witted in person as I am on the page.
2
Especially when someone thinks me shockingly ignorant.
2
"You know, the sculptor.
3
He's had shows in Brazil and New Madrid and everywhere!
2
He may be more famous than you."
3
"Imagine that."
3
I remembered an article in The Medusa and a photo of a work in which 100-peso notes fell like confetti onto a small Undersider, sexlessly young in grimy, oversized clothing.
2
The child's face was a warground for wonder and mistrust.
2
Imprisoned light from forgotten streetlamps snagged itself on metal threads in the fluttering pesos.
1
"A great artist will grace this world, then?"
2
"Nardo!"
2
She was never tolerant of my ego.
2
"Well.
1
What's this more-famous-than-me person like?"
2
"I didn't meet him, jealous old one."
3
"Too bad.
3
If I thought he could free me from you --"
2
"Hah!"
2
She wrapped her arms around my stomach.
1
"You'll never be free of me, old man!"
0
Wondering about the reason for her extravagance, I asked how work had gone that day.
0
Bringing my face close to the shoes, I breathed deeply of air that my parents had trapped while closing up that symbol of their love for me.
2
"Emil came in.
3
"Emil?"
3
"You've no memory left, old one.
0
Emil Malaquez."
0
"Ah.
3
"What?"
2
I did that in a comedy once.
0
'Nights with Karl and Groucho.'
1
"Oh."
1
"The critics liked it."
1
"I'm glad."
1
A moment later: "That's not why I called him 'Emil'."
3
"That's not why I called him 'Emil'."
0
"No?"
2
"No.
3
We lunched together.
1
He's nice."
1
"Oh."
2
"It wasn't like that."
2
"Of course.
1
Still, it wasn't like that.
2
You think I sleep with every famous person I meet?"
2
As you may have guessed, we had talked about such things.
3
I do not claim ours was a perfect affair, only a wonderful one.
1
"Do you?"
0
"No."
3
"Good.
1
I invited him to dinner tomorrow."
3
"Oh?"
2
"He'll be our neighbor.
3
You say we're becoming too insular, that we need to socialize --"
2
"I've socialized for sixty-three years."
0
"Nardo?"
0
"Yes?"
3
"How should I reply?"
0
Her voice had grown quiet, and I began to feel some guilt.
0
I had, it is true, told her that we needed other company than our own.
3
I said this from years of learning that romances consume themselves without other fuel.
0
But knowing this did not mean I wanted it.
2
I said, "Truthfully."
3
It was the statement of a younger and crueler man than I.
2
She screamed, "I haven't socialized with Terra's elite for most of my life!
2
The instant would have been improved had my baby shoes been cleaned before they were encased.
3
I haven't socialized with hardly anyone for hardly any of my life!
2
And I invite a neighbor, one nice, lonely man --"
1
"I'm sorry."
2
" --who took me to -- What?"
2
"I'm sorry.
2
Truly."
0
"Oh."
