we got 2 new puppies today. we inherited them through sapphira at the salon from my childhood friend malcolm's batch. his son ke delivered them to the boutique. we take them to the s.p.c.a. for inspection & i run into johan from the old factory. sandra loves the puppies...

tonight before i fall asleep i remember waking inge & uncle colin, walking into their bedroom as a teenager sleeping over - they looked like adam & eve (both idyllic & futuristic, my german english-language teacher & her mixed-race husband) under the fur covers with the cats & dogs loitering around their room (i was reading 'clan of the cave bear' @ the time)... tonight i sleep with godfrey under thick pile covers with cats & puppies in our room. po-mo adam & yves, a dream come true (i hadn't even known i'd asked for!?).
