UKRAINIAN “CAROLING”

Some random young girl just rang the bell. Came into the doorway, Announced she was singing us a christmas song. Sang it. Three verses with Chorus. (I can’t catch the meaning). The recited a short bit on best wishes. And thanked us. And smiled.

During this entire period we are expected to smile appreciatively (which is pretty easy), then give her a tip.

Now we are not exactly in the nicest area of town, but its all small families in small apartments.

What I am constantly struck by is the ‘us-ness’ of a homogenous population.

It makes me tear.

I remember this in america.

It’s what we lost,

And it is beautiful.

Love your nation.

F_ck the corporeal state.

I am going to kill as many of you as I can with the written word.

And dance in my grave at every twitch of every rope.
