I need someone to show me the things in life that I cant find
I cant see the things that make true happiness, I must be blind

Make a joke and I will sigh and you will laugh and I will cry
Happiness I cannot feel and love to me is so unreal

And so as you hear these words telling you now of my state
I tell you to enjoy life I wish I could but its too late

Anonymous:
You can hang me in a bottle like a cat
Let the crows pick me clean but for my hat
Where the wailing of a baby
Meets the footsteps of the dead
We're all mad here

One year I had an english class with Mrs Brown, Julie?..Im not sure..Stans wife....anyway, on the first class of the fall she asked us what book we read over the summer. I said I read a Vonnegut book, and thought it was pretty cool. She told me that he wasn't a real writer...and likened his work to a comic book. Ridiculed me infront of the others who said they read other books..

  Her name was Laylee or Layla.  They lived in a house on Richardson.  I stopped by looking for Stan one warm May or June day.   She came out of the house in an india print dress, barefoot.  She put one foot up on the top two by four that held the pickets of the picket fence that defined the small front yard.  She had a beer in her hand.  I told her I was looking for Stan.  She said Stan would not be back for three or four hours but I was welcome to come in.  I would be surprised if they are still married.

Kurt is easy to read.  So is Hemmingway. Short clear cleanly constructed sentences define the style.  I hear papa stole it from Gertrude Stein. I like to imitate it sometimes.  Sometimes when I think about drinking in cuba, I like short sentences.
