With an absolute loss of place, the last resort is one of pleasure.  Enjoy the fruits of irresponsible man.  You owe it to yourself.

"No more dogs or husbands, they keep dying on me" she said with a raspy voice. She undoubtably adorned a nasty smoking habit and Chihuahua, and I imagined her searching the clearance at Pier 1 for that special something to make her febreezed filled home..."pretty".  I didn't get too close, and with outstretched arms and feet firmly planted I fumbled for the Sonny and Cher album and Creed tablature book on the shelf in front of her. 

I wonder.  I wander. The time has gone, we are not ourselves, and I am beginning to believe that people who piss in bottles have social anxiety.  I have a small collection myself, arranged in a deliberate gradation.  It is pretty.  And I am thinking of having a medium sized dinner party to show it off.  You are all invited.   But I must say that we fail for obvious reasons, always in a state of perpetual confusion. Today, however, is O.K.  You are O.K. This is O.K...until it isn't.  In a few moments a beautiful Dutch girl will come in with a smile and love, kiss me and stroke my beard, and be confused by the half eaten avocado sandwich in my pocket.  I think I hear her. Yes.  And she is wet from the rain.

I read the message and with a high chin sipped my coffee.  How are we supposed to go on like this?  Pretending that evil doesn't exist and happiness is found at the bottom of a flat white...we come back to this same simple question.  Curious indeed.  It is the unknown that peaks our interest, yet remains a source of deep frustration and fear.  It is the 22nd day of March 2016, and we have received news from Blackmore.  Starship Nicola will be performing at the Eden Festival.
