PARTISAN REVIEW
tain I was right. My objectivity is you. My standard is you . My con–
science is you . My best friend is you, beside which I adore you . I
trust you more than I trust myself. You couldn't be more correct.
The grief is real , time has done a lot, but still I stand corrected.
Thanks for giving me a push and doing all you did , but I will not
hang around anymore .
If
you ever want a kidney or seven teeth or
an eyeball, they're yours . I disappear like a submarine. I go.
