Top five things
I miss about Laura.
One: sense of humour. Very dry,
but it can also be warm and forgiving.
And she’s got one
of the best all-time laughs
in the history of all-time laughs.
She laughs with her entire body.
Two: She’s got character.
Or at least she had character
before the Ian nightmare.
She’s loyal and honest and...
she doesn’t even take it out on people
when she’s having a bad day.
That’s character.
Three:
I miss her smell...
and the way she tastes.
It’s a mystery of human chemistry,
and I don’t understand it.
Some people, as far as your senses
are concerned, just feel like home.
I really dig
how she walks around.
It’s like she doesn’t care how
she looks or what she projects.
And it’s not that she doesn’t care,
it’s just-- She’s not affected, I guess.
And that gives her grace.
And five: She does this thing in bed
when she can’t get to sleep.
She kind of half-moans and then rubs her
feet together an equal number of times.
It just kills me.
Believe me, I mean,
I could do a top-five-things
about her that drive me crazy...
but it’s just your garden variety
women, you know, schizo stuff...
and that’s the kind of thinking
that got me here.
