than me
oh
he’s German
very German
so German it’s hard to understand him at first when he speaks
and you’re going to marry
him
with yourself
you’re going to be marrying him yourself I mean
his mustache is enormous
bushy and gray and covered in crumbs
all of him is covered in crumbs
he’s filthy haha
well that’s just
oh and he just hates my writing
criticizes my work unceasingly
I see
i really cannot overemphasize
how much he disapproves of my voice as a writer
wants me to change everything about it
well
how can I compete with that
exactly
please don’t blame yourself
Hamlet
Part V
darling I don’t mean to criticize but
you really hurt your father’s feelings last night
hes not my real dad
why do you even like him
Henry David Thoreau
im going to the woods ok
okay
im going to live deliberately
with essential facts
im going to suck all the marrow out of the trees
okay
so dont follow me
how long are you going?
i dont know
however long it takes to live deliberately
so maybe a few months
or maybe forever gonna live in a cabin
well
i’m happy for you
can i use your cabin
you want to live in my cabin?
well i dont have a cabin
i need to be self sufficient
so i need to use your cabin
hey do you mind if i have some friends over to the cabin
how’s it going out there
are you living deliberately
yeah pretty deliberately i guess
but its pretty boring out here without friends over
i guess so
as long as you keep things tidy
there’s not room for many other people
no for sure for sure for sure
just the alcotts
and the hawthornes
and ellery is already here
he is?
yeah he sleeps on the floor by me
plus people are always stopping by to see me
and my self sufficient cabin
you mean my self sufficient cabin
the self sufficient cabin
anyhow
i invited a lot of them to spend the night too
the more the merrier thats my motto
just me and the lonely whispering of the wind among the reeds
and also the alcotts and the hawthornes
and my best friend ellery
and anyone else who happens to come by
that’s
a lot of people
twenty five or thirty souls, with their bodies,
at once under my roof
give or take
hey do you want to come over
i just stole some pies
what
this lady just left out pies on her porch
so i took em
self sufficiently
i don’t think that’s very self sufficient
well i don’t think you’re very
shut up just come over
just come over to the damn woods
you know what i think are brave
what
minks
and muskrats
awfully brave
not like the great mass of mankind
what’s so brave about them
you wouldn’t understand
hey would you bring some more molasses if you’re coming back
tomorrow
im all out
how much molasses do you need
i dont know
obviously
clearly if id known from the beginning i wouldn’t need more now
so i guess “more” is the answer
why don’t you just come over
and you can get all the molasses you need
and you can stay in town for a few nights
i think maybe that would be a good idea
no way man
no way
your life is a hollow shell
no offense but id rather die than stay at your house
just bring the molasses when you come over tomorrow
and also some more shoes because i lost the last pair
and some books
and pens i need pens
but thats it
and a thing of beans
thats for sure it
do you know whos my family ralph
who
these squirrels
these squirrels and this chipmunk and that crow over there
the crow on the chimney?
NO
not that one
god i hate that one
hes not my family
hes a fucking asshole
Daisy Miller
