Actually I'll be passing out candy apples w/razor blades in them, syringes, eyeballs, cold veins, and poo dipped in white chocolate. The mummies that are living on my porch will approve.

And oh: I'm thinking of being the Weapons of Mass DECONSTRUCTION: ie: Dead Derrida ... too lofty? Then my plan is working purrrrfectly ....

"You should view the world as a conspiracy run by a very closely-knit group of nearly omnipotent people, and you should think of those people as yourself and your friends." --Robert Anton Wilson

I stumbled out with a basket of laundry and pow. That eclipse. I had no idea. Lunar eclipse. I could only stand there gaping, all the static and dizzy spinning ground to a halt. A sweet cold air stunned me into the most ... quiet. The most quiet standing ankle-high wet grass standing. Somebody died on that moon, something died on that moon that bled and soaked and dripped. And as the blood drained off leaking rusty grief into the sky I was no longer eclipsed. Unromantic memories of sacrifice and ritual, well, they didn't rise up so much as whisper. Awe hung down from my fingertips and hair like clear bells. I went to sleep ringing and dreamt more of the moon, eclipsed this time straight above my head, not so much bloody as crisp black and white, the surface of it peeking out just a hot high sliver and the rest of the sky a cold-tone black. I was on my horse on a cold lunar plain. It was everything to be alive again.

Nothing like a nocturnal bike ride, sneaking around in a pumpkin patch, and a classic neon sign to clear the old lungs and combat depression.

Acorns and Mulberries

Forgiveness does not mean ignoring what has been done or putting a false label on an evil act. It means, rather, that the evil act no longer remains as a barrier to the relationship.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

light up my life

Besides appetizers at Hong Kong, piles (man-made and otherwise) along the roadside, iMacs, the sound of vinyl lp's (the actual sound of the vinyl -vs- the sound of the music), buttons, cookie-press cookies in repetition lined up on a baking sheet, and suitcases, there's these:

Plus I like to read obscure arcane lofty texts and ruminate while drinking Orangina, swinging on my black steel glider while the nightbirds scree.

As a child in New York City in the 1930's I grew up with Art Deco all around me. I never knew it was Art Deco; it was simply the world I lived in. The wondrous skyscapers like the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building, Radio City Music Hall, where my mother took me at Christmas, and my junior high school in the Bronx - all Art Deco. Many of the sumptuous sets in the movies I saw on Saturdays were Art Deco; even the Marx Brothers crossed the Atlantic on ocean liners decked out in Art Deco. At age 15, I worked at a flower shop in the majestic Art Deco Rockefeller Center, a virtual museum of the style, with more than 100 Deco paintings and reliefs in its buildings. And the New York World's Fair of 1939 and '40 - in some respects Art Deco's culmination - was for me an attraction greater than any Xanadu.

Living Without VGP.

I'm at the Bordeaux residence, Annie's inside, can I get her? Will I be allowed? Kids pass going to F & M; "wild" partying is going on, I'm not impressed. He's there w/me and we vault a fence w/barbed wire to walk along the dirt road/alley. It's very Georgia. Crooked fence, crooked red-dirt path. An archway of branches reach across; they get thicker and thicker. The path narrows. The branches get slimy and sticky. It takes awhile to realize that they are slimy and sticky, shiny, drippy. The light is filtering through, very coppery, watery. We realize that this slimy sticky web is gross. We speed up and exit. Vault the fence again just as I see this ... rabbit? with a collar, tied to a slim leash to the fence in the alley. I vault back. This ... rabbit ... has a gorgeous white coat, thick & soft, with lovely brown markings and some facial deformity. Looks also like a cat? Something uncanny, can't figure it out. The eyes are too far apart, the head has weird bumps. Have people been doing strange experiments on bunnies? Do the people who live in the house with the John Kerry placards own this animal? Are they guilty of this strange deformity? I am utterly undone. I am pregnant and I am undone. I pet the "rabbit", bury my hands in its thick delicious coat and cry.

TGIM

-Arkansas firefighters towing a fake house used to teach schoolchildren about fire safety clipped a power line, which then fell on a real house and started a fire. Another group of firefighters from the town of Magnolia were dispatched to put out the fire, but they got lost. By the time they arrived, the house had burned down, killing a pet Chihuahua.
-The entire population of an east Romanian village fled in panic after mistaking disco lights for an armada of invading UFOs. The villagers returned home only after police assured them that the flashing lights belonged to an outdoor disco in a nearby town. "We were so happy when we heard we had escaped an alien invasion," one resident said.
-An American inventor has changed his name to "They." The 43-year old from Missouri, formerly known as Andrew Wilson, said he made the name change so that the mysterious "they" referred to in so many conversations can at least have an identity. "'They do this' or 'They're to blame for that,'" They said. "Someone has to take responsibility.

SEX, IT WAS GOOD.

I am pregnant. My main objective is to arrive at the warehouse intact. The way is treachorous, jagged, rocky, wet, windy. At the dinner party, they fill my plate with vegetables including parsnips, raw, and so much juice I can't even begin to think about drinking it especially since I have no appetite to speak of. He is there with a little gang of girls, the girls from the bar, with their homemade skirts and drugs. I can't do any drugs so they've got no time for me. The yellow flowers in my hair, which is longer than it has been in a long while, draw alot of attention. I get a plate of food to go, wrapped in foil, and head back out. Now it's night, now it's not. It's like Gexto Spain. I'm enjoying the cliffy wind on my face but there's fires on the water. Like from an oil-spill or man-made catastrophe. The rigs out there are like Grand Isle. I keep walking and Annie my dog is with us. I am obviously pregnant now. It's been a long while. The city is dun-colored with beech and birch trees. Like my idea of where I come from in Russia. Nobody speaks my language and as I reach into my purse to pay the toll I discover my miscarried baby. Annie has no leash. The clouds are moving too fast, I am dizzy, I sit down.
