No Genius

Boris. He improves with distance I guess. I really do miss him these days & that's not just me hormoaning. How long have we been together anyway — must be nearly three years. You should know, you were the one introduced us (its all your fault).

At first I thought he was a genius, you know, or OK maybe you don't know and it sounds silly. So I'm silly. I admit it, I thought he was fucking brilliant (not to mention a brilliant fuck). I was actually scared to talk to him.

Anyway after a hundred years or so it finally dawned on me that this wasn't genius after all. Was it the day I discovered he never balanced his checkbook, just opened a new bank account when it got too screwed up? Or the time we got lost going up to Santa Fe and after half a day driving in circles I see what map he's reading and it's South Dakota.
