again i am compelled to think
of myself thinking of her
our characters are stranded
on a divorced beach
this is a coda ..

lost in a scrabble of a half light
of a 1000 1000 years

JANNET WAKES UP IN HER APARTMENT IN THE PACIFIC BUILDING, IN Portland seven days after her initial departure for Spain. It was a very short stay in Madrid. There is a nine-hour time difference between Portland, Oregon and Madrid, Spain. Jannet checks the time, it is presently 8.30 am for her, therefore it is 5.30 pm in Madrid. She mentally debates, back and forth, about calling Mari Belen. She finally decides to call and when Jannet does phone Mari Belen, she anticipates that she will leave a voice-mail.
