And so nevertheless
I was inclined to trust and respect my
need to keep myself to myself and keep myself from
the rest so what if I was a capable and provocative that came
along with the living and the simple fact that I am a performer
should’ve told anyone that at any single listen to any single
work should have sent any reeling—like ya know man
“sit on my face Soapy Lauren”—should do the
trick it’s not a ruse or an inconsistency
that I can be as I put it so well
late in that last interview
both shameless and
extroverted—it’s a
tremendously fruitful
contradiction and just one of
the tensions that makes my sound
so compelling since too not even fifteen
minutes of tripped groupies at classy lounge
room doors like it when sex creeps and crazy's
ejaculate fan mail all over your floor when they
can’t even afford a quart of homogenized milk
and more plus total strangers following you
bejeweling you down an empty grocery
isle valued friends and star struck
acquaintances expect time too
I don’t have anymore it
was a cinch that
yours truly would
be putting maximum security
between blooze work and private affairs if only
momma would’ve told me thus I never fully accepted that
such popular blooze inevitably tempts people who it is moved
into getting a lead on the human being down deep under yet
all I’d been told was that my blooze is the riddle & that
it’s my art at the root of such ascetic seduction
then I was faced with what reality
mattered.

Lucky, next month sounds fine...it'll take me that long to process all this. You write like my ADD mind thinks, sans the Adderall...put them together and yes, a month might do. But seriously folks, intriguing swirrlly work here.

Very cute Claire,

You do know I have some very nice musing times Rosemary and I spent in the meadows. You'd never believe what the Chipmunks thought of it all, not to mention what the Grackles had to say... But I could sure tell you the story..!

Martie,

You betcha bubba, and I can write some of the most mysterious mystic blooze lines ever seen, yet present a mystique which ever leaves the listener still wondering of all I've said. It's surely a female thing and I'm sure I acquired it from my mother. But nevertheless it's very effective. I did acquire a bit of finesse along with clever and cunning when I worked for "Grafficks" in the Springs as a calligraphist. It was a fine time for learning... and thank God I still am.

By the way Martie... your're a peach< !signature-->

For brandondinsmore - don't worry, Lucky is not a girl - I can personally guarantee it, because I'm married to him!  (I just thought maybe I should clue you in!)  Cheer up!
