“first you ask them. then you tell them. then you make them” – that’s the old policeman law. the new cop law is “Taser Nation over all, with liberty and justice revocable.”

african vervet adult monkeys have verbal danger signals: a loud bark for leopards, a two-syllable cough for eagles, a hissing sound for snakes. baby vervet s are born knowing the hiss snake warning, but must learn the other two.

got shot down by clint eastwood. lady’s and my age difference beat humphrey bogart and laura bacall by a year, but clint and his missus beat us by 8. this is all moot because tony randall’s wife heather was 50 years younger than he was, and anna nicole smith was 62 years younger than her old fart. lady and i have but a 27 year gap. of course all the above involve rich and famous old men attracting young female flesh. i got mine with neither fame nor money. i tell her she’s my trophy wife; she replies i’m her trophy poet husband.

couldn’t raise my lizard in the closet yesterday. looked all around for him. felt sad cuz i like the little critter. then went into the bathroom and he startled me by running across the floor at my feet. either he was using the facilities, or he’s checking out the rest of the apartment.

in 4 weeks we’re going hours up the mountains to do the sacred magic mushroom dance. at Huautla, the town where the Beatles, Bob Dylan, Donovan, Aldous Huxley, Albert Hoffman, Timothy Leary, Ram Dass and Stanley Osley (of Osley LSD) ate magic mushrooms back in the 1950s and 60s. we going where the cool folk went. of course we’re 40-50 years late, so how cool can we be? i did do Osley acid in 1968, so i have some street/hippie cred.

i was with the hippies, but wasn’t of the hippies. hippies were jobless and communal while i worked 40 hours a week and was a loner. i’m more lone psycho than family member. hard to believe i first dropped psychedelics 40 years ago. last dropped 10 years ago. 30 years – that’s half my life dipping in and out of acid. it was one of those things that just felt right, as if i’d finally arrived home.
