A Walk in the Park

There was still some snow on the ground unthawed since the last fall three weeks or so ago. The moon seemed as bright & as full as could be. I felt a little spaced-out, having slept poorly the night before, and likewise the night before that. From the Great Square came a confusion of noises: work had begun on dismantling the circus marquees after the final performance there earlier in the evening. Will anyone run away with them, I wondered, when they go? We had just watched Donnie Darko on DVD, which we’d resorted to ordering from overseas, as it’s yet to be released in Sweden.

My thoughts were of that self-congratulatory kind that feel sure of their own importance. Typically, now that the time has come that I might fix them down in writing, I can’t recall what they were, only that they seemed profound at the time: evidently I was deluded.
