Stacked chairs & a regime change
Shirley Temple once said “I’ve
led three lives,” a phrase not
to be confused with the story
of the FBI agent who joined
the communists. Is said that
it was the FBI who funded the
U.S. Communist Party because
there were so many agents
signed up — 1500 out of 10,000
at one point — & because they
were actually employed by the
Feds, they regularly paid their
dues. I can’t find anything Miss
Temple had to say about that.
In vain
I am spending my days — & nights —
either reading books, journals, & news-
papers, or watching free-to-air tv plus
everyone of the streaming services we
subscribe to, searching for an ending
that I can pilfer. Certainly some of the
things I come across set off a certain
frisson, but the ancillary requirements
tend to negate them as possibilities. As
example, I do not have five centuries
to get myself into the state of being that
is deemed necessary to reach Nirvana.
Meaning I’ll be going to bed hungry
until the middle of next week at least.
The wars of the Hoecks & the Cabbeljaws
The dead woman appeared un-
harmed. Two young children
wrapped in plastic were also at
the home. A recording from the
driver’s own car was taken into
protective custody & confirmed
that the suspect, renowned for
playing complex women on the
stage, faces an extortion charge.
randomized eccentricities
Orbital eccentricities roam the
streets on foggy nights to see
what the latest fashions displayed
in shop windows are. But since
Rome wasn’t built in a day, they
are still there the next night, like
cats caught in a blackberry patch.
Late-stage excitation often results.
A line from George Lucas
The term “race records” was coined in 1922.
Policy disputes play on. Energy costs are
a significant concern. It’s my first time in
therapy, & we are very pigeonholed. If you
don’t fit in that box, then it’s time to flip the
script. Politicians have scapegoated hand-
made artisans for decades. Record labels no
longer view music as a vital creative force
& offer such shifty deals these days that art-
ists will never be able to make money from
them. Backing bands are now made to stand,
remove their headwear, refrain from talking.
