Who
has the envious distinction of being the bachelor in this bachelor
party? It's hard out here to make a living in between sheets of
concrete. The girls were calling out like a choir. They wanted to
smell your underplants, the smell reminds them of this tree they once
knew and were quite intimate with. A stranger handed me a coloring
book the other day. He said he found it in a parking garage. I said I
don't know what to do with this. He said neither do I. When you're
small you got to know these things. I was touched by an angel, in an
inappropriate way. Who knows how decisions are made? Who knows who
littered our path with objects meant to deceive us? Some things have
been useful. It's the information I don't like. You could have the
exact same conversation with the first ten strangers you meet. I
would like to meet many people on the street and have the same
conversation every time, at least once. But this is a plot-line in Jim
Jarmusch's the limits of control. But I want these conversations to
be the same out of the rigors of reason. I am a phenomenological kind
of guy. I get some of the stories right. Others I trace figures in
front of. But still others I lay waste to like an alarm clock who is
so insistent in its screams must be pounded with a hammer. The other
day I was getting out of a cab and I told the driver something in
Spanish. I don't know what I say when I speak in Spanish. I learned
the language in a separate realm of necessity. What is the thing where I can't weave a coherent thought? What is the thing where I make very big leaps? Why do I not have proper control over the
series of logical statements I am ordering right now? Everything must
have its place, somewhere, at least. I am trying to be coherent but I
have already transgressed. The point is, I'll never know what I said
to that cab driver. He gave me a look like maybe I wasn't speaking
Spanish after all. I don't think the cab driver spoke Spanish. Not
too many Spanish speaking cab drivers. But everyone has to work. Its
punishment I think. We are officially aligned. There was an affinity
that bound us. For one thing, I sure didn't think I was at my
spiritual pinnacle. I think I could be better than I am right now.
What worlds do I have to visit to rectify this murky situation? I
want something stronger than water, but something thinner than blood.
What substance am I thinking of? I can't tell if these are my
thoughts or the fly's. I like to think of myself as an advocate of
instruments. I think I know what it is like to be a thing. I have
studied things in depth and think I speak speak ably on their behalf.
Things are things like anything else. Some people put a premium on
life, as if life were the only thing. But I am a thinking man as
well. This means I am frequently immobile, as so many things are.
Most things don't move. A lot of things can move. There's no point of
air nowhere. Air is found somewhere. I get angry when I see people
crawling around in outer space. Stop doing that! You're playing, once
again, around the edges of catastrophe. My movements are tracked by
cameras, I can tell. The satellites know all about me. There was
something else that I wanted to say but I forgot. I forgot what was
happening. I wasn't anywhere else. There was something calming about
the water. It was fresh and that was clear. I can't be afraid to
strengthen my body. It was a humble spirit that first betook me in
front of the fireplace. The place of flames. It's what there was to
do. If one was to do anything, there were things to do back then.
There was nobody to watch us when we fell. We had no shepherd at our
back. We needed a graceful exit strategy. The party had become a bore
and we both needed air. By some simile I arrived at a base between my
mind and thoughtfulness. We were aligned against the forces of
darkness. This was on the record and everybody knows. It is the only
things we can do right now. We lie in parallel worlds where different
things occur to different people. Things as in events, things as in
thoughts. You can break it down as much as you want but there is only
one reality. There is no veil. Perhaps what you don't realize is the
loops that are taking place. The same thing is happening all over.
All over the world different things are happening. We happen to get
by with blank stares and tumblers full of ice. There are things you
can't see I said and I know we better get off the roof. The roof is
worn down with ice. The snow has been punishing us this year. Show me
the evidence that this is not the path of motion for the orbs in the
sky. There's a lot we know about chaos and the starting conditions.
Somethings are done correctly and other things, you got to believe
me, this thing is real. There is no other conditions in which this
thing would have worked. Minor adjustments can be made, but it is up
to you to make it sing. Think of what you could do with a harp. The
drama you could create. I wonder what it is like in the sack with
her, the harpist. Her fingers, her fingers everywhere. Her fingers
leading me on. Delicate fingers to strum my pubic hair. These light
touches drive me wild. The softest thing. The hidden center, is it
soft or hard? I wonder about her. I wonder if she really knows what
she's getting into. It could be trouble. I don't know. There is
something off about the way she looks at me. It wasn't as bad as the
other thing they said. I couldn't believe they could stoop so low.
The boundary was looking me in the eyes and I was exasperated about
the condition of the corneal tissues; I mean, I mean they have begun
to decay. I don't think we can use these in the transplant. There
were serious things happening everyday. I was in touch with the
deepest issues of our time. There was a sickness around us that made
us sick as well. We weren't lost completely, but we were lost half
way and that was bad enough. I know it wouldn't bode well for the
robotic transplant man. He had better luck last year, before the
recall. I wondered if he knew he stank of failure? It was seriously
in the air. It was a little gross but I put up with it. It was fine
really. It wasn't too bad. It's better to be dirty. I prefer filth.
Filth is a better alternative. Abject misery. Not bad for starters.
The best of both worlds was this kind of party dip. It was pretty
good really. I mean it wasn't bad. It was pretty good actually. Yeah
two thumbs up for the party dip. It went good with everything I
tried. And I tried a lot of stuff. It wasn't better that way. It was
way worse. They made a map of the territory and it didn't remind me
of home. There weren't different operatives at work here and we needed
every score we could get. I had been on the losing side for too long.
I was getting sour from drinks. There was something stirring in my
soul, whatever that is. Where ever it is. It's just as hard to find big
things as it is small things. Sometimes. Other times, it might scare
you. I didn't think it could be so hard to find out. There were two
different stories floating around on the net. In one he was frisked
by airport security and in the other they made attempts on his life.
I couldn't be bothered either way because I was deep in meditation.
He had a tremendous difficulty speaking on the microphone. What was
causing his anxiety? Was he just waiting for a better day? These are
the paths my mind moves in. Its hard to know what to do with all the
pageantry around his questionable taste. I would better be bothered
with some electrical device than news of a hurricane of the coast of
who knows where. I couldn't be bothered to fly the kite. I know the
boys wanted it, but I really couldn't be bothered. I was playing
Pokemon on my Game-boy.
