Do you know what I long for? I long for the night that comes suddenly without warning, and I long for the crazy rainstorm at night. I long for the monotonous sound of the rain hitting the roof, or the sound of raindrops falling on the wide leaves of the beautiful wild taro plants. In short, I long for home and the atmosphere of home. I miss cycling, the sea, the back seats of the Rialto Cinema, the kind of cigarettes I smoked, and the embarrassing things that happen to everyone."
