And why an American? .... &, Still questioning, or catching, a last time, An old chill from childhood, I thought: why me, why her, & knew it wouldn’t last ////// yeah still questioning.........till departure breath!

A collage of vividly detailed fragments of ordinary life arranged brilliantly to convey something so much larger than the individual components. The details produce the backdrop in which we can easily recognize our own similar, familiar emotions and generate the atmosphere of naivety, uncertainty, and un-ripeness that permeates it. The reader is left with a series of unspoken, deep questions about the meaning of life, which he must then carry away and confront in his own solitude. Refreshingly disturbs the currents of the soul.

A good style to convey the doubts and marvel by which we take each cross road in life.
