dear old love
I still haven’t replied to your email where you apologised if you did something wrong. I know you know what you did wrong. I heard Radiohead’s “Exit Music (For A Film)” on shuffle on my iPod this morning and now I want to reply to you,

(Yesterday George Nuku saw some dried, tatooed heads of his ancestors exhibited in a museum in Brussels. How did he feel about this?)
