they asked me not to write anything, just rest my eyes and have happy thoughts
somewhere I could hear a circus passing, perhaps it was someone famous, a lion tamer in Mick Jagger socks

——POSTPONE DEATH: just a blink of the eye at the Mayr Clinic

all those lies about growing old
how death is quick
painless
(+) before Death arrives, your space crowded with demons

and spits you out
(+) pity those with need of nothing
——GOD CAUGHT ADAM ENJOYING THE LANDSCAPE THROUGH EVE’S PRIVATES AND PUT A STOP TO THAT MONKEY BUSINESS——
PERHAPS NATALIE MERCHANT COULD SING A DITTY ABOUT THE WHOLE EVENT
no secret that Eve had difficulties with self-abandonment

WEAKNESS: CURIOUS ATTRACTIONS AT THE TRUCK STOP

sexual dialogue

outsiders often faint

PRAYING THE DOWNFALL LIFTED, THE WATER TAMED

30 MINUTES AFTER BOB DYLAN’S BIRTHDAY GATHERING
PLACEBO TOWN: SOUP KITCHEN STREET
half way around the final curve of reciprocated love
a trivial sex life playing in a near-empty cinema
ambling through daydreams of walking upright
the phone ringing, curious magazines
begging for photographs
would I bend over
for a close-up ?
dreams about having a packed suitcase
ready for a quick getaway
met a new man today
fabulous shoes
long, long toes
he was like the best cigarette I ever smoked
instantly I was charmed and crazy in love
how divine to combine adrenalin
and pure meth from a lab
twice, the Olympic stud
(+) I heard him in the bathroom weeping

I had no idea that there were homeless in Placebo Town
standing there in line for some free erection cream

the bingo card inside my head exploded
MARVEL ?
a simple way to put out forest fires
(+) with the erection cream came one pair of rubber gloves
and a list of instructions:
- don’t eat the cream
- don’t get cream in your eyes
- wear gloves to apply
- erection may be painful
- be mindful of your partner
