Candor in conversation now felt hawkish,
an alien approach, meant for anyone but

felt most like home.
I wanted better things for us.
I count the seconds to the door,
like breaths in a year. I wondered
what fears lined my feet to act so
feverish, so bundled with electric care.
I will try to remember this, I thought,
as my breaths ran shallow tic toc:
Like ocean salt sizzled on raw legs,
or, maybe, a love failed piecemeal.

His relationship with Mary Karr was volatile. She inspired a character in the novel—a radio host named Madame Psychosis who ends up in the halfway house. Wallace got a tattoo of a heart with Mary’s name on it. He signed his letters to her “Young Werther.” He proposed to her. They fought. “Someone you get sober with is like someone you were in Vietnam with,” Karr remembers. They split up. One day, according to Karr, he broke her coffee table. She billed him a hundred dollars. He paid her and said that the remains of the table were now his. Karr told him that she’d used them for firewood, and that all he’d bought was “the brokenness.
This is both comical and apt.
Hmm, I don’t know. What kinds of things do you bring to the table? How is being your friend gonna impact my life? How is your re-addition to my life going to improve the success of said life? What is your expected salary range? Where do you see yourself in 5 years? Do you have much previous experience in friendships? Can I contact previous friends? Will you submit to a pre-friendship drug test?
