i just reread about an hour ago this cortazar quote which doesn’t make a lot of sense out of context (or in context, logically at least), but which i wrote down on a scrap of paper years and years ago and instantly on reading it felt the same way i felt the first time i’d read it which was just all electric and like i heard its words all on the other side and it says ”something like, be careful when you jump, or it’s full of broken glass up here, can’t you see it shining?’ b had left me a lil note earlier in the week on a scrap of cardboard which warned ‘don’t listen to the other side..’ but i didn’t listen to that don’t listen.
