And it makes me think of a conversation I had last week...
Fella said: “No way I’ll ever do any dope again! I have completely lost the desire to use!” I had to give him a funny look. “Is that right ?” I said. “Yep” he replied, “You could put a big pile of dope on that table right there, and I would have no desire to use any of it. I’m done” I said ‘Man, I kinda feel that way, but I’m not so sure” “Why not?” he asked. ‘Well, with me it all depends on who it was that threw down that dope, and how do she look. It if was Velvet Skinned Annie dancin’with a Rose between her teeth, I’m afraid I might have to have a go again.” Fella just looked at me kinda sober like, and went back to his seat.
I think I've said too much already. A girl can't lay down all her cards at once. Good thing my deck goes higher than 52. I wish I were a guy so I could pee anywhere I wanted while standing up. That's real power. I'd like to meet the following: My great-great grandparents, the N. Oklahoma ones, not the Swiss gentry. My woebegone friendship with Adam G. The man who's going to be with me till we're retired to the porch swing sucking on glycerine tablets, and who still reads to me at night, while I rub his feet. My ambitions with commitment and discipline. The characters from old David Lee Roth videos. Hot carb on carb action. That fucker who keeps trying to take the bbq, in a dark alley, satan's minions, lilliputians, nigglers, pifflers, piddlers, snake-oil peddlers, cripples, do-gooders, truth-seekers, sweethearts, wandering minstrels, interlopers, robber barons, saints, sinners, people who snort and guffaw, holler and whoop, tender tender people with good hearts, and all my fat little babies. I like BUTTER! And Vitamin Z!
