drinking i am
yes, great idea folks. today, i was on my way to the coffee shop on 39th st. to study John Donne. stopped by the tobacco shop in Westport to pick up Bali Shag. bastards didn't have any. but, Torrie's pizza and pub had the bar front windows open to the Pennsylvania St. air and it was too much to resist. i went for afternoon beers instead of coffee and still read about that holy fool, Mr. Donne. ("rave on, John Donne. rave on thy holy fool" -Van Morrison's "Rave On")
now i'm drinking iced coffee and pissing like dog who lives by the sea. a tennis match in 30 mins. i'm outclassed but will go down fighting.
Carla, loved your update, especially the mischief your own personal tiger gets into. delightful.
and, a little belatedly, my first conviction on immigration besides getting drunk....it's not that i have a solution, but i just realized yesterday that i'm definitely against a wall. who builds famous walls? well, there's the Great Wall, built to keep invaders out, Ghengis Khan and the like. don't know if it worked or not. what is it now? a tourist attration. i'm not against tourist attractions, but i'd like my country to be in history for something more than a seeming obsession with isolation and a delusion that problems are solved by building walls. "fences make good neighbors" -i should read that poem again. i don't know what it says. then there's the Berlin Wall. the world rejoiced when it went down. i just can't think of any wall i could cheer for, that's all i'm sayin'
