Hey Ree,

If I texted you as much as I thought to text you, our phone bill would be in the mid-thousands. There are so many things I see and think that I want to share with you. In a perfect world you would live in my front pocket and we would talk all day everyday. Sister, I’m gonna fucking miss you.

And while he is by no means without yearning for the absolute, what he finds most acceptable are images of a more fragmentary nature than those of the ideologies of the past. And these images, limited and fleeting though they may be, can have enormous influence on his psychological life.
