ClairE
I
finished
a
difficult
piece
,
and
my
art_school
friend
mentioned
right
then
, "
some
nights
take
longer
than
others
because
i
am
so
busy
taking
things
apart
and
gluing
them
together
differently
even
though
it
already
makes
more
sense
than
i
ever
thought
was
possible
,"
and
I
knew
there
was
a
language
for
all
of
us
,
which
in
her
terms
would
be
a
shared
landscape
,
the
more
muted
term
of
understanding
.

Make
big
decisions
he
would
say
.
Make
sure
to
vary
your
shades
of
grey
.
Find
the
areas
of
dark
and
light
.
Shade
them
in
exactly
right
.
Don't
confuse
value
with
local
color
and
don't
put
your
piece
where
it
will
seem
duller.
Keep
it
steady
and
don't
forget
to
measure
.
Art
is
pain
and
art
is
pleasure
.

i
used
to
write
more
i
used
to
care
about
different
things
not
entirely
different
things
but
some
different
things
i
am
still
me
inside
its
strange
how
time
and
life
and
everything
catch
you
and
then
everything
spins
out
of
control
for
awhile
,
but
you
are
still
you
.
i
should
start
to
try
and
write
again
everybody
wants
a
creative
writing
pharmacist
kinda
strange
i
feel
like
deep
thoughts
used
to
run
more
frequent
gotta
remind
myself
what
really
matters
