...the last page of a loved book
never sure what to do with all the bits that endeared it
being spoken to so intimately with no way to respond
i undergo a sense of displacement
(photo from last full moon . my ego apologizes)
Lila could never really be drawn into these conversations,
though Ames tried to include her.
She seemed more interested by the fact that people
talked about such things
than she was by anything they talked about,
and she watched the currents of emotion pass among them,
watchful when they were intent
and
amused when they laughed.

I feel like Lila. I'm much more interested in the fact that people talk about things like, oh, Grape Nuts, than the actual subject of Grape Nuts. Who wants to talk about Grape Nuts anyway?
What book is that from?
