our relationship to the sublime has a strongly pathological component...

i'm sure you've had this conversation....

sublime: I'm coming over.

you: I can't right now.

sublime: You can make it work. You know you want to.

you: I have practical things I gotta do. Dishes to watch. Bathtubs to clean. I don't just have time for spiritual removes and aesthetic mindfucks. I don't just sit around waiting for you to get in one of your little moods.

sublime: But I'm always ready, baby.

you: You weren't there when I was trying to type that story yesterday. Probably out muse-ho'ing again. I saw the great shit ______ was publishing on their blog. I know your handiwork. I saw the smile on ____'s face.

sublime: That wasn't me. I swear.

you: Whatevuh. Talk to the non-writing hand.

sublime: It's like this. Those are just people I do and shit. But like what we got is special.

you: Spatial you mean?

sublime: What? I don't get it.

you: For the sublime, you can be a real dumbshit.

sublime: Baby, with what I got I don't need to know how to talk. That's your job.

you: I really hate you sometimes.

sublime: Yeah but...do I even need to finish my sentence...

you: I gotta go. I'm hanging up now.

sublime: I'll be over tonight late.

you: Call first.

sublime: When I'm in the mood.

you: Call!

Phone slams down.

sublime: Hello? Hello?

you: Fucking Guido.
