epitome of incomprehensibility
|
I'm in an art gallery, trying to write down some line's of a woman's poem. She's pacing in front of the paintings on the wall, reciting from memory a poem of grief - the emotion comes through her words and expressions. I think it's about her mother's death. There's anger as well as sadness, and a brief funny aside about that anger: after using the word "fucking," she continues, "'Fucking' is a bad word - it's the wrong word in this place..." This takes it back into seriousness. I want to write down the two or three lines I remember from this section, but I don't have a pen, so I open the note app on my phone. And this app changes "fucking" to "loving" right after I type it. (Way to bowdlerize and sexualize and romanticize all at once, dream autocorrect.)
