the andalucian

The Andalucian is studying linguistics. Synchronics and Diachronics and periphrasis. The history of verbs. She says she’s giving up drinking tomorrow. She smokes two packets a day. She’s cried for four days. When she cries, she doesn’t just cry, she wails and screams. She’s pleased to see us. She’s having an existential crisis. Someone at work told her she was as pretty as a Christmas Tree. She knows what they were trying to say and it doesn’t make her happy. She’ll be OK. She just needs to give up drinking. Get over the crisis. Rediscover linguistics.
