Things I am really feeling right now are the modes and clothes of the space age era Soviet Union; Viking embellishments and accessories; hats; enthusiasm; and well-cut suits on young men who wear them with a teeshirt. And I want new sneakers and this pair of Irregular Choice espadrillos. What else is new? I need a haircut but I don't know what to do with it. I am almost done with "Death On The Installment Plan". I am obsessed with beefcake photocards. I need a lamp projector though if I'm going to use them for tracing/bedazzling. Tel Aviv, Beirut, Baghdad, Jakarta, Calcutta, Tangiers. I'm interested in work boots and scarves, always scarves, silver jewelry, jewelry that does things, like weapons, and destroyed cotton shirts, silkscreened with cypress trees. I don't know, it's never pressing to write here anymore - I've become preoccupied with getting all my thoughts down in every other place. The volume of poems and short stories I'm working on has been taking up an increasing amount of time. So has:
- drawing sailer suits and bubbles on big cardboard squares
- watching "Pretty Baby", "Bunny Lake Is Missing", "Frenzy", and "What Have You Done To Solange"
- going to the parties my friends invite me to and dancing in the grass of front lawns
- tracking down my Native American elders
- tracing stags
- markers and pencils
- ArtInAction
- Becoming adept at not taking on responsibility that isn't mine
- Thinking about snowglobes and making marmalade
- How I want to start a wild commune with bunnies, a goat, horses, dogs, cats, cast iron pans, big beds with mosquito netting, artists from all over the world, a garden that works, radical exhibitions, and evenings of ball gowns, Pinochle, and getting my ass smacked.
- Or never stopping living out of a suitcase, a scrappy nomad, finding ridiculous ways to fund my travels, getting to Brooklyn and India and Berlin on a dime.
- How I skin my knees more than anyone I know, even kids.
- My old molar, #15, is gone.
I'm gonna be the goat keeper on your artist's commune and I will also smack your ass.
How's the tooth? Is this drawing of Fred pulling Barney's tooth an indication?

cool. You'll also take care of the ponies while I'm traipsing around Russia.
The tooth, vamoos! Very interesting story that. More later, now to rest
