she sent him a birthday package…inside was a brand new CD player and four rare shinto CD’s..she sent him a tim buckley collection…pens…stamps…mahler…envelopes…tape…the ever-important roll of scotch tape…he thanked her for the supplies..he blessed her sappho ass…and sent her gagaku. she called him friend, old poet, and asked for nothing in return……
