Dark Thoughts

"You know, I was thinking..." I began to tell k.

"Oooh, I didn't know you could."

"Well, I do hide my light under a bushel."

"Of coal."

We were enjoying a picnic and a chat before the movie began at Somerville. k. had been telling me some story.

"And stupidly..." she said and trailed off, sipping her coffee and looking around her.

"And?"

"And what?"

"You said, 'And stupidly' and then just stopped - I'm waiting for the rest of the sentence."

"Oh, haze, you really have to stop living in the past."
