"For some of us love comes into the room, kicks her shoes off, ï¬nds the most comfortable sofa, and lies down, rests, has no intention of going anywhere. For others love walks in smoking a cigarette, checking her watch every two seconds, jittery, with one hand on the doorknob, heart rate up, always in sprinterâ€™s position, ready to run."

This doesnâ€™t mean that the story isnâ€™t true, only that I honestly donâ€™t know anymore if I really remember it or only remember how to tell it. Language does this to our memories, simplifies, solidifies, codifies, mummifies. An off-told story is like a photograph in a family album. Eventually it replaces the moment it was meant to capture.”
