azerty

in france, keyboards aren't "qwerty," but "azerty." i find this nice - the arch-enemies A and Z are forced to sit side-by-side, sulking, with arms crossed and lips pouted. sometimes i wonder if the letters A and Z are former ex-lovers who can't remember each other, like characters from murakami's 100% perfect girl, and the 24 letters between them are the 55%, 75%, 95% perfect people they meet in search of each other. maybe they will run into each other one april morning, somewhere across a skyline made out of alphabets, they're trying to find each other with each word said out loud.
