The
Life and Works of Kevin Lenin "The indifference of the shoppers in Market Square could not deter him and he jumped up and down in stroboscopic fury, compelling them to sign his petition." "Across the street a man sat playing an electronic organ. A peeling sticker across the instrument read 'Jesus saves sinners' in fading capital blue letters. At his feet sat a tray, empty but for a handful of coins that no-one would admit to having thrown. He gazed at Lenin through one eye. The other looked in a slightly different direction, askew." ""It's just," he stuttered in a manner untypical of the street orator, "I love you. I've always loved you. Can't we try it one more time?". "You rang me to ask me that!" she screamed as the distant infant began to echo her howls. "Look, it's been four years. That is ancient fucking history. I can't even believe I'm having this conversation". And with that she slammed the receiver against his ear." |
