THE HUMAN COMEDY

Despite its 
undoubted lack 
of marriage at the end,

before fade- 
to-black, I would like 
to have said

my life 
was a fairly ambitious 
amateur movie—

unencumbered 
by plot, and excruciatingly 
slow at times;

but all the while 
braced
by a kind of 

almost maniacal, 
ham-fisted take on material 
beauty.
