Bang, F slams his glass down on the piano but by now i know its coming so i don’t drop the right hand, where’s Bootsy says F. out of the corner of his mouth while watching her cross the room with a trrrrailll of silk perfume, play an old standard he says to me clapping me on the back and filling my glass magically again with a wave of his hand, where’s three card? i’m bored, she wants to go to the theatre, the theatre! two hours of watching other people’s lives instead of living your own, fuck that play something loud and spiritual,
Live at the Orchid Room
more mad experiments with nonlinear time,
rage on, I say,

Love your voice! Any accent differnt from my own is like music. You have a deep tone most suitable for reading. Made the poem dance.

watching other people’s lives instead of living your own: brilliant and so very true. I have thought that myself many times, when in some obscure, inexplicable moments I try to question arts and the like, and sometimes end up blaming them as a distraction from life itself. But that’s life itself

He he, I’m on Firefox now, can you dig it? I like how the thing thinks it’s smarter than me, we shall see who is the master and who is the puppet here. lol My bourbon glass maestro! It was Stella all along and Marlon Brando. James Dean was just trying to imitate Brando, he even tried to learn the bongos but he really was awful on them and couldn’t see his feet without his glasses.

It has built in spellcheck so one doesn’t have to look like an illiterate idiot unless one chooses to do so. I am having great fun with that!
