I don't add my asterisk. I don't add it.
I'm not an asterisk, although I have one.
One wish I have, one simple wish: to be
your lover in a story of the Greatest
Love. To take our place together in
the Pantheon of Lovers: Orpheus,
Eurydice, Krishna-Radha. Lunacy?
Of course it is! Is there any other
love but lunacy? Everybody has one,
Catherine. Everybody's got an asterisk,
everybody's got an ask, every
body comes with shit. You love to call
it shit. Ok, it's shit, my shit. Of course
I've got my shit. I've got my asterisk
I've got a body just like you. Would
you please (not) hold it against me?
