reluctant believer ms. virginia woolfe, how can i explain being stuck somewhere beautiful? you've hinted at it--which i'm starting to see is the most anyone can say i've resigned to the idea that i'm the kind of joke you had to be there to laugh at ms. virginia, how do you feel about your story now being marketed as some kind of feminist parable? you ought to know it really sells. 'it's time for U', 'because you're worth it' and 'you've come a long way baby' that last one is for a cigarette company called virginia slims i know, i know it was a shitty choice to make--live with yourself or die what's more i know that it felt like no choice at all and now i know that you were wrong, even if you were brilliant. maybe it was your brilliance that made you impatient, i can't be sure i'm not going to say that good things come to those who wait-- because i don't know if that's true i'm waiting anyway. showing a little faith, despite myself. |
