...maria, maria, maria......the brand of melancholy displayed by Maria seemedrather morose, she came across the type of person that wasgenuinely at the end of her tether, until she laughed...she had awicked laugh that sprung and lulled mostly about darkhappenings that were able to be reconfigured into some sort ofwitticism, usually anyway, though most of the time her face hadthis succulent tightness like a virgin...though when Patricearrived and spoke about Alex leaving him and splitting up withhim just as she left for India Maria laughed the same hystericallaugh, though soon stopped when she perhaps realised it was noton, it was just not on, so she then poured herself a Vodka andsoon looked like a George Condo painting, eyes bulging with aninsipid delight, whilst her drunkenness became more and moredistinct...profanity poured out into brief tirades on trains,commuters, poets she saw as ridiculous, shadows forming insummer where death saunters......she woke up in the exact same mood, sat up and pouredherself another Vodka, whilst commenting that a peculiar thinghappened a while back, something she hadn’t wanted to share,but now felt compelled...and it seemed to instantly obliterate thesilence although I, personally, braved myself for something Icouldn’t enjoy, something I would fail to dislodge from mymind...though it started fine, she, apparently, had been invited toa party in Buenos Aires and was keen to go, mentioning that shewanted to drink and see what the culture was like, though thestory continued in a rather dark manner, a man with abscessesentering the apartment to talk about his dead wife, an old womanfalling out of a window to become something a scatter of birdsstarted to nibble on until someone noticed the body, a theatreAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA12
play put on locally where a Chilean man shot and killed himselfat the end, a man with a big nose......it seems all too much, said Patrice with the feeling thatMaria was on a precipice we couldn’t ignore for very muchlonger...13
