thanks Nathan; not a bad association at all, I had been watching a document
about addicts in Quebec prior to scribbling this so there may be an
unconscious drug-element -- it's about love, simplistically put, so it
wouldn't be amiss..
but the association that prompted the snap was between the 'tingling'
(pleasure & pain at once) of the first stages of getting sunburnt, and the
'tingling' of a crush or an infatuation. 'sexless' because these feelings
are partly also non-sexual, but (someone else's) 'daughter' because that
idea carries a sexual weight. autumn because you get sunburnt in the summer
but sexual/non-sexual corresponds a little, perhaps, to summer/autumn. and
*hangman*-hope because of the dread of love & of death bla bla.
hah. with all that background the snap should've been better I think. maybe
I'll expand it yet.
