“I’ve retreated with my dad to his cabin. The raw pinewood living room with the brown sofa that could’ve been placed in a bougie, smoky bar. Tone on tone. Bottle green and deep blue checkered wallpaper in the bedroom. British heritage.
Went through his wardrobe and cabinets. Argyle sweaters. A two-piece brown denim set. A gray pinstripe suit. Things I can mix and match with.
Old VHS. Wall Street, Michael Douglas.
Vinyl records. Talking Heads, ‘Remain in the Light’. Just what I need to do this fall.
I can’t tell which era we’re in.
But it’s nostalgia. Nostalgia that I could bring back to the city. And that fits today.
It’s modern. And it’s bygone.
Bye, I’m gone. Back to New York”
