No words.

Any compatibility between the two was imagined. His sensibility reflected the tastes of the time, the style, the mode – he only showed a shadow of a question of why, and only when he thought no one was looking. Hers was better hidden in glances; any acknowledgement of particularity or vulnerability was done with eyes closed.

Really, the only reconciliation was the music.

Music, which ironically reached between the two and bonded them, tied a neat bow between them with birthday ribbon and twine. This commonality shouldn’t have made sense, but it was the trick of music – the trick of all art. For one, it was recollection, and for the other, curiosity.

CDs, and text messages. A grotesque parody of communication, diluted by static and time. Groveling…almost groveling.

With time and the horrible contrast between anxiety attacks and the subsequent ennui, it became apparent. Any compatibility between the two had been imagined.

This is a really well written piece of philosophy that, I imagined, was a reflection of modern living. It made me think of how the impersonal cyberspace realm and celebrity status cabaret has affected the way that relationships develop in modern society.
People seem encouraged to 'act out' as being the truth of their ego's fantasies and there are now so many catalysts by which to do so that i find it slightly worrying. How often do people make 'connections' that are false and how much more are people becoming isolated and insular? I don't want to end up living in a one roomed apartment with only my PC and my phone as a means of meeting new people!
This brave new world of advanced communication is exciting and inherently useful, but I think there needs to be more education around voluntary temperance, moderation and self-control before there are stalking cases en masse. This is very unique- and apologies if I misread your thoughts, this is what i took from it, take care, spence

i liked it...i really did...so different from anything i've read in a while..so fresh..whatever it lacked in flow, it made up for in quirkiness of language and prose...

loved it.
