Remember when the hippie connection used to work? When old friends could count on old friends– for a bed if not then a sofa, if not then a scrap of rig. No more. In the context of extreme strain we can meet in honesty only those who are willing to be as absurd– as lively– in the idea. Not [...]
Its been a year and a half since Ive written anything. I guess I stopped thinking that there was anything wonderful about all of this– this experience, this objective, this dream, these people these problems. Look at myself in the mirrow– red and puffy.
