�� within trees ��

26.VIII.2004 :::: 14.29

so i am re-reading a portrait of the artist as a young man which i have only read the one time before. so while reading it & coming across my pencil marks in it, i keep feeling flashes of myself at the age of seventeen, spending lots of time that summer reading important books, in paperback, sitting in some graveyard or other.

i was going to, just now, make a list of all the ways my life was better at seventeen & then a list of all the ways it is better now. but there was pretty much nothing to put in the first list, unless you count things like "got to hang out with/in trees more often."
