CONCEALED IN THE OPEN:

In a quiet place, hidden away, in plain view,
off a crowded room, I listen. Footsteps on the
stairs of an arriving voice. Two women talk in
animated French.
“I was quite young, I don’t know what happened.
It’s quite a commitment. Basically I was quite
difficult, troublesome, singing stupid songs,
holding hands across the table.”
