'69

Excerpted from Art Garfunkel's autobiographical What Is It All But Luminous / notes from an Underground Man ©2017:

In May of '69… Paul's writing changed from "I know your part'll go fine"-- words of a deep friendship (The Only Living Boy in New York)-- to "Why don't you write me?"-- words of frustration.

So many things that are obvious in retrospect slip by us in the present.

(An aside:  it seems petty to complain about a book's font, but this was published in something resembling Comic Sans that is very difficult to read.)
