Now I knew what the split-screen vision effect was, back at Bateau’s. She was there, trying to talk to Bateau. It’s more pronounced this time but not as awkward or uncomfortable. Maybe because we both know what it is. I can feel her presence and mine slipping around each other like two grades of oil that don’t mix; won’t mix.

She’s a rough blend, like a blanket sewed together out of scraps. All those lives lived vicariously, I’m surprised she’s hung on to so much of herself, that she didn’t just … dissolve, lose herself in a kaleidoscope-a-rama of other people’s lives.

But I guess she can’t. Instead, she just gets drunk on them. Nostalgia bender; somebody else’s nostalgia, her bender. Then the tide goes out and it’s just her again, stranded on the ragged edge.

That’s what this is all about … getting drunk?
