the girls sat in dom's room afterwards and drew to belle and sebastian. alan performed a light show with cellular phones and we were all in awe. well, not jackie, who neither took acid nor ecstasy but was very high. i kept looking at them to see what they were drawing as their faces were still down on the pages. i liked to see one part of the picture and see where it would go the next time i came to visit them.

i relaxed the entire next day. my phone was turned off and i laid there holding a blanket and thinking of good times.
