Going All the Way 4

The restaurant is very nice. It's a French restaurant. I am waiting, waiting. I bought some cheap NYX make-up on sale. I hope I don't look too obvious. The Professor, he speaks plainly, but he seems so smart. I often feel stupid when he talks about Picasso and the fourth dimension. I just don't see it. New York is alot like South Korea. Seoul that is. The relentless hustle toward some future... somewhere beyond all experience (e.e. cummings). Reminds me of the Woody Allen movie, Manhattan. Pervert. Married his adopted daughter. I think I may have seen Soon Yi yesterday. You can't tell these days. Oh there he is. He brought his daughter. I'm so insecure. Having a genius brother is like having an elephant in your pockets when you're not wearing pajamas. Maybe I should get a job at United Postal Smashers. U PisS sis. My brother is so creative. I love my brother. He speaks to me in whispers, sighs, silences, operatic.... 

"Hello Professor."

"This is my daughter."

"How are you?" I tried to look concerned. So he is married. He is here to tell me that he is married. I shouldn't have asked him out. Try something new, my brother tells me. Try something new once. Only once or you may get a disease.

"Nice to meet you. I admire Korean culture very much. If Asia took over the US, it would be just like New Hampshire."

"She can be a bit snarky at times."

I have no idea what he is saying. My brother told me to say, "I concur." if I had no clue what people were saying. (Catch Me If You Can).

-My wife came from Old Money and the only thing she left me was her daughter. (He is divorced.)

-A bottle of San Peregrino. Shall we have a bottle of Pinot Grigio?

-I concur.

-She's funny dad.

-It's a kind of French dead-pan humor. Remember, the French can be very cruel at times especially when they are in "malaise."

-Can you say that dad? French people wouldn't say they are in "malaise."

-Anyway, how do you speak English so well? Aren't you an international student?

-Well, I didn't study much in school and I'm an only child. (I just lied my pants off.)

-I figured you were an only child. Well, why didn't you go to Seoul National University?

-I wanted to see New York or New Amsterdam.

-You've come to the right place.

He orders something in French. He is so much at ease in the restaurant. The lights is soft like a dance of the waves. Light and waves rhyming in melody. Rimbaud.

- I brought you a book, "Deconstructionism for Dummies.." It's a book that I read a few times.

(Is HE calling me STUPID? I'm going to kill this FUCKER!)

-I concur.
