the hello/goodbye: interlude.
Chapter 1, part 6.
Interlude:
January 2006.
My mother is on the phone and counseling me to leave LA; when I hesitate, she responds that I never legitimately chose to live here; that I had a ticket out; that I simply couldn't take it; that LA has been a purgatory rather than a home.
No legitimate life is built on a layover; and any that does so builds itself on the choice to accept that layover place as a legitimate home.
