Marathe and Kate Gompert at Ryle's

texture · Sat 14 Nov YDAU (2009), night

• When: Saturday 14 Nov YDAU (2009), night — after Marathe's day at the House and his phone call of betrayal
• What: A thread cross-tie: mugged and purseless Ennet House resident Kate Gompert (event 17), off the grounds and drinking Kahlua and milk, falls into conversation at Ryle's Inman Square jazz club with the wheelchaired "Rémy" — the same Marathe who has spent the day inside her recovery house locating the performer his cell means to use. He tells her his parable of pain, choice, and love (the skull-less wife, the released brake), insisting the chains he chose bind him: "the chains are of my choice." He closes with a hypothetical that is not hypothetical — only three streets away, something promising more good feeling and pleasure than she has ever felt. The Entertainment-plot's shadow falls directly across a House resident.
