The kids might be all right

The young look like they're living in the USA. The girls wear those white skirts with wrinkles or ruffles or whatever and the wide waists. They wear white leather belts or belts with stubby pyramids of polished steel packed in tight rows. They wear wrap around sunglasses that fade, vertically. I've seen guys in "Atticus" t-shirts, god save us

where are you?

[hegemoniker]

ahora, yo estoy en buenos aires. visito a mi padre, quein comprô un apartamento en la ciudad. it's all true, though. being here makes the US seem like the new paris, like we crap haute coutre (az iff i cood spel amyfing en engrish, even). the recovering economy, the homeless, the almost-but-not-quite first-worldliness of it all, tall, new, luxury apartment complexes and train stations that haven't been painted since the thirties...
