Anthony comes in two's


















"So I told her 'truth makes people responsible' and she said 'that's why people dread it, and of course don't want it."

"Right."

"You understand?"

"What?"

"You know what trips me out the most? I can't understand why typed language can be so different from voice."

"What?"

He shook his head for a moment. "I can talk to a woman for hours on the phone, right?"

"Ok."

"We can talk about everything from the fucking take over of the New York Times to the band 'Godspeed you black Emperor' but when we take it to any other form of communication that requires our fingers to do the talking all of a sudden the dialogue bends a little."

"What do you mean?"

"About what?"

"What do you mean, about what? What you just said?"

"OK, what I am saying is we say different things to people we know, OK? When it comes to typing to them than when we use our voice. You understand?"

"Um...I think so."

"You understand?"

"Of course we do, that's a known unknown. People are more comfortable when they can't see or hear the person."

"I get you."

"Ok."

"I get you. What I am trying to focus on is why? Why am I saying more risque shit when I don't see this woman? What is coming out of me that I am not revealing, that I am not understanding, that is not given the opportunity to become mature?"

"Mature?"

"Yes. There is thing in us that is not given a chance to properly mature. It's a toddler, right? Till we are typing behind a curtain then it is out in some fucking play land."


"What goes on in your head Anthony?"

"We are two people."

"What is your point?"

"I want to be one."

"Of course."
