Response:

It gets dizzy in here, a spinning numbness you could

go to a dark corner of the community

park to purchase except for


tonight when it's free.

Seriously,


tell your cousin to get his pants on, the revolution is coming

like a freight train, like a great rain precipitating the largest

blackout in Vegas, even on a Saturday in August.


Tell him we're in a swirling abyss and

in order to become a man one must wrap one's

hands around intangible ideas, laugh less, be sophisticated,

refrain from eating once-caged chickens. Life is complicated--


especially today, what with God gone,

stocks down, cuffs up, oil out and

seedy deeds done-- see we could bust from

these queasy evenings but


what then?

Who would feed the cat?
