they. those still selling the lie. sell us doubt.

i think. i'm not certain.

thought i have seen. and i see the angels. like other mad writers. sitting by the light of two candles. lynard cohen and others taking them down slow. ly.

but i will no longer write of lost love. one is too tempted to throw away love to take the pain to word or song.

grim.

i'll smoke one small one. not talk of sex and perhaps end the night with something silly. i'll go put on monty python.

when it comes down to it, like my dad says, so my sister tells me, this isn't a dress rehearsal. if circumstances were so. what was the question. fun. no one should stand in their own way of having it.

that's why i think i'd like to get into this sex thing. i hear it's still hip. other things too. like standing in a jungle. or a rain forest.

fuck singularity in all its forms. singularity. one god. that is a science fiction that must remain not the fall. unique is vital among parts of a whole. do, think and be something different. it's more fun. that's what it's about.

that's philosophie, my sweetness.

_duck stop_

there is nothing funny about war. there is nothing funny about the oil industry. oil should be left in the ground for emergency energy. boycott all oil products. good luck.

_duck stop_

i just thought of you from head to toe. admittedly, i've been over a few with my thoughts. now i'll take a nap and see how many thoughts i can get through before my hammock stops swinging. she has wonderful toes.

_duck stop_

i thought of something besides the legs of female humans.

a friend took me to washington. with his mother. to visit his dad, her husband. they, he lived in west virginia and drove to work each day. some kind of undercover government job. or you don't have one.

we spent much of our time in the smithsonian thing. chatting with the president's men.

ask me who the president was.

i don't know. it's a joke anyway. america.

but again, not a funny one.
