SABRE RATTLING AT IRAN
“This article says we might attack Iran April 6,” Smith moans. “Well, that’d make sense,” I say. “They like to do it over the weekend. That way everyone gets excited about it, gives them something to talk about over the holiday weekend.” I cut some cheese for our desert and set it aside to get […]

not known going
Lady K says i’m not getting angry as often – or as much. it’s because i’ve left a lot of what angered me back in america – possessions, politics, programming. it’s because i’m doing something, rather than waiting to do something. it’s because i’m testing myself and finding i’m more or less worthy of this […]

OVARIES, RUBBER BANDS & TESTICLES
textbook times by s b smith OVARIES, RUBBER BANDS & TESTICLES I’m lost in a reverie. I’ve just looked at a high school friend’s site, and she’s posted pictures of her giggle of a girl. I imagine it’s joyful to watch a wiggle grow up, but it would be a totally different life. I wouldn’t […]

And still the same sigh from the earth. – Albert Camus, Between Yes and No, 1937 It is indeed […]

JUST NOW
I’m comparing the juxtaposition of perspectives now that I’m high again vs months straight. I slow down. Get a bigger handle on understanding my current condition. I think it’s good to shake things up. I tell Smith, “I think it’s appropriate for us to be smoking now.” He slowly, creepily turns his head towards me, […]

what “we” we grow
Lady K called me “honey bunny buggle bear.” sometimes she talks to me in the same voice she used to use to talk to her cat. i think she thinks i’m her big pet. we’re not smoking today. our 4 day stone fuzzed the brain, slowed the will – especially after being straight for 5 […]

Patter Chatter
I’m reading Smith’s blog. It’s a rant about Cheney and company. He writes: my english professor always said evil was banal – cheney proves it. It’s not the first time he’s cited an English professor. I’m editing his memoir, so I keep an eye out for these little tidbits. At the Naval Academy prep school, […]
