David Bowie, early 2016 (or late 2015).

So many characters, so many faces. But this is how I want to remember Bowie—upon the release of his final album, days away from death, and smiling like a man who owns the whole fucking world. Even his death was a work of art.
Thanks for all of it, David.
Bowie’s weird and, apparently, thrilling theater piece, Lazarus, is currently playing the New York City Theater. I haven’t seen it (as you’d expect, tickets are rather hard to come by), but from what I’ve heard it, too, is a sort of farewell. As with Blackstar, we didn’t quite understand this. But then, we’ve always been a few years behind Bowie. “Who knew?” Chris O’Leary asked me this morning, when I e-mailed him my condolences. After Bowie, and Bowie’s family, O’Leary was the first person I thought of; a writer and blogger who’d devoted years of his life to Bowie, and become something other, maybe more than, a biographer.
Who knew? Bowie did. “The past three years, he’s been planning for death like a Roman,” O’Leary told me. “What a last gesture.”

Immortality, Of A Kind.
The girl in the white suit hid her nerves behind the cigarette.
The curtains opened. A pale man in pressed flannel frowned.
“Who are you,” he said, rubbing sleep from his eyes, “and what the hell are you doing on my window-ledge?”
The girl balanced on her bare heels, rocking back and forth.
“I… am a fan,” she said, “Don’t worry. I’m perfectly safe.”
“I wasn’t worried,” he said, “Lose the cigarette.”
“Sorry,” she said. Her face twisted, as if her muscles used to make apologetic expressions had atrophied through neglect.
“I wanted to ask some advice,” she said as she flicked the cigarette into the void behind her.
The man thought of his breakfast cooling.
“Make it quick,” he sighed.
There was silence, or as close to silence as the rumble of the city far below would ever allow.
“I have so much I want to do, and so little time,” she said, “I want everything. Is that so much to ask? Everyone says so. Everyone says ‘be reasonable’. But then I look at you, and everything you’ve achieved, and know that ‘reasonable’ is defeatist. Any one sliver of what you’ve done would be an enviable career. That it takes it all in, is an impossibility. There’s so little time, and so much work I want to do. I’m going to die but I want to be immortal. I’m trying so many things, but I’m afraid of losing myself in a–”
“Enough,” said the man, “I’ve two things for you. Listen carefully.”
“Always finish the album,” said the man, “and get the hell off my window ledge.”
The girl nodded.
“You were my inspiration,” she said, as she stepped backwards, turning to a shower of ash and sulphur, leaving tiny sooty footprints on the ledge.
The man sighed as he turned from the window. A girl dressed in a white suit, smoking, with that hair? And I was apparently inspiration? No shit.
Still – she was far from the first, and she’d be far from the last.
Immortality, of a kind.
