Не закрывайте глаза, когда вас фотографируют, иначе вы потом подумаете, что кадры оказались бракованными.

Анжела уничтожала 60 % своих снимков. Но английский костюм Альваро всегда на нем смотрелся безупречно и лишь подчеркивал выгодные черты внешности Альваро Альто. Поэтому он любил его одевать. А пианист забыл о костюмах, не боялся москитов и лихорадки. У каждого есть свой почерк. Ни одна из квартир Берлина не ожидала неожиданно приехавшего пианиста, несмотря ни на что. Ни на что не смотря, он вошел в одну из них.

Don't you want to be just a rock'n'roll girl with all those natural cosmetics of pain and taxi drivers songs in the windy streets. Like the starts of all stars in midnight routes with hurting horizons... hurting eyes... with 'yes' and blue motives of pregnant sadness. Soon the baby is born. He caught her smiling in front of the TV news break; in his special way he would gently carry her face blank and motionless to the rest-room of ending stories.

I need defence in any bus I enter like the miracles stealer wishing million pardons from passer-byes watching suspiciously. No friends. No leave-takings. I wish I stole your heart instead of all those useless silent joys of watchmen rushing after me. Great darkest psychology plays hard with silver substance of your body. I was such a bad sofa for your hands, so soft inspector of your gaps and stretches, so . . so, though no one should intrude........

With the same feelings occurred the night before Angel came to LA. Lipstick stuck in the mouth of the one she saw in the mirror with no visible head leaning to the no one's shoulder. She knew it would be like that but she could utter the only word of love that she hated to pronounce. That word tortured her articulation, and by all means she always tried to avoid it in use. However she could neither swallow it nor rip it with teeth and tongue at the very moment she came to LA. Oh, she could stand silently in the queue of ticket buyers, or she could split within strange prayers in the dim churches or hide in car jams drinking gasoline and playing cards with lonesome passengers. Or she could repeat the ending of the most fabulous wrack, she could start...... At least....she could start. But she changed her blood group and never more responded to her name. Yellow pages must have saved it.
