All them Greek Housewives
My heart goes off to Athens - I’m completely fascinated by its’ constant rope battles between unconcern and rebellion, and slow tsipouros and (well-rooted) hysteria.
It’s the one place to which I always gladly present my other cheek. And it therefore remains home.
And I must look back upon all the housewives I’ve met there (who have long ceased being wives and long stopped giving an actual damn about their houses): ad nauseam pledging to their kitchen-church-laundryroom commutes, rendered to await the honours of being offered a feast or a grandchild to take care of.
And I must wonder
Was this always all there was of them?
What will they really be remembered for?
And by whom?...
