Afterthought



The experience of running into the wall of an insolent young man has taught me that any of my pretensions to rigor or forcefulness are false. As I have gotten older, I suppose it matters less.


"Besides the Kritios Boy, the preeminent examples of this persona are the bronze Benevento Boy of the Louvre, the Antinous sculptures commissioned by the emperor Hadrian, Dontatello's David, and Thomas Mannn's Tadzio in Death in Venice. The Apollonian is a mode of silence, suppressing rhythm to focus the eye."

I thought I saw my biological father yesterday, in a lilac polo shirt. Not that I have this fantasy of what it would have been, it is only the negative experience of paternal authority that brought the realization to light.

True story. I did not see a body that I recognized in myself until I saw you. It was shortly thereafter that I walked up the stairs, and saw the folded Arts section of the newspaper of Girodet's Endymion. There are periodicals in the dining hall still?

Anthony Balducci - you prying menace. No allusion to paternal authority or otherwise should give you any hope that I would end up with you. You are repellent to me physically and mentally. You forget I have the agency to block you, every time.

That I wanted an activity partner when I was a teenager, lonely adult before college, did not suggest that I wanted a sexual relationship. There was that one night with baited breath sleeping fully clothed in a cloth-from-Jouy-lined hotel cell (2008). Then, the postcard I sent, "I am your girl" perennially submitted as evidence.

Many addresses and phone numbers later, you are still there, like a pestilence. I do not want you.

The poison of Amalek is doubt of the Creator, and this impulse conflates everything into coincidence and empty image.

I do not want you.

Anthony Balducci, please stop looking here, and sending things in the mail. I am unequivocal; I do not a friendship or a relationship with you, no matter what you do.

Yes, same sentiments. On a cursory glance, there is nothing good about reading about suicide and throwing one's spouse's cremains along a roadside, in Hateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage (2003). The laureate's youngest daughter accused her mother of staying with a man who molested her for years.

I knew nothing about this in 2013. If given the choice, I chose Atwood and scientific speculations over Munro's melodramas.

I will leave it in a local Little Library, and the recipient can contemplate how a library copy from Schaumberg, Illinois got there.
