november 1, 1997 detroit, michigan
we're standing outside the hotel, obediently waiting,
and god comes out, limps over towards us, concentrating.
we freeze, most of us, and just look in awe, still a
treat, always a sight, never routine. he approaches,
but right before he gets to our group, he makes a sudden
steer to his right and finds her. "patty!" he calls out.
patty culliton gives him her undivided attention. after
all, why not? "what's the next gig you're going to?"
she tells him. they exchange some words, and he finally
makes it over to us to give us bits and pieces of himself.
again. and again. and again. we take, all of us. it's the
nature of our relationship. i don't lie to myself about that.

october 13, 1998 dublin, ireland
we're standing outside the studio, obdediently waiting,
and god comes out, staggers over to us, apologizing.
he looks at nico, sticks out his hand, "hello again!"
handshakes, smiles, attention, and love all around--
reminders that he is forever THE LV, us. he doesn't
lie to himself about that.

struggling for things not to say,
elena
