🧐 Mindful of how Paul Simon deploys conversations:
- Hello darkness my old friend...
- Kathy, I said as we boarded a Greyhound in Pittsburgh
- A man walks down the street. He says, "Why am I soft in the middle now?
- Some people say a lie's a lie's a lie.
But I say why, why deny the obvious child?

So familiar! By the time I was 16 I had read all of these from this very edition #literature
...BOTD Raymond Chandler
📚🌄 The breakfast reading room...compare/contrast German authors Fontane and Boll
...3rd person narratives on gender, class, property, marriage
... hierarchies

Good people, too...but, no, you gotta reach out...cats and dogs help...
Paul Simon chats, part 3:
- I was having this discussion in a taxi heading downtown...
- With disagreements about the meaning of a marriage contract
Conversations hard and wild (Train in a Distance)
- And don't cry, baby, don't cry, don't cry, don't cry...
