from october 14, 2015: “i am sitting with my dad in a hospice center and he is asleep. (his mouth is open, and it reminds me of boris karloff in frankenstein.) we are listening to nick drake; this is the third time that 'river man' has played. a nature special is muted on TV (a lion just killed a wildebeest), and there is a family weeping in spanish across the hall.”
