Beautiful, intelligent, accomplished young woman, like one of my sorority sisters whose one -
night stand «partner» could not be bothered to pay for her
taxi ride home the morning
after, or a friend of a close family friend whom I saw passed
out on the floor at a fraternity house at 2 am with nothing on but her underwear, or a housemate of mine who was dumped passed -
out drunk on our front porch one Saturday
night by a group of male students with no knock, no doorbell, just a resounding «thud.»
On Thursday
night,
after water flooded the center of the Piazza San Marco, and those climbing
out of water
taxis in evening - wear slipped on plastic booties to protect thousand - dollar shoes, Damien Hirst walked
out alone on the dock at the Gritti Palace.
