i was surfin’ the bigassweb when something made me think of f. scott fitzgerald.

i googled him, and read the wikipedia stuff.

his life reminds me of people we know.

sometimes this punishment we put ourselves through seems a little severe.

i wrote something about 15 years ago with the line “zelda’s delicate sanity.”
it also included some of my favorite lines by me:

as she undid the laces of her fragile mental health
revealing to him places she’d never been herself

this is from “breakfast table cordial”.

…meanwhile,
returning to the scene of my inability to form or maintain a relationship…

i wish both of you and yours unreasonable happiness and as much peace of mind as you can stand.
