Of course it's an escape! Do you think I want to stay here?

i'm snapping my fingers right now. i want to see how loud it sounds in this real quiet room. everybody's asleep and i think this keyboard is broken cause it sounds like breaking bones. i stopped being drunk about two hours ago. now, i'm just vibrating from all the other stuff i took. saturdays are so dangerous when you're good and alone. not the sad, pathetic alone of the normal poet. a pleasant alone. an alone where you can watch mtv without embarassment. the kind of alone that means chef-boyardee ravioli out of the can for dinner. i watched 3 episodes of the sapranos this afternoon. Christopher was shooting dope and snorting coke. this sounded like a great idea. a brief telephone call and a half an hour wait in my car behind a UDF later and i was sitting at my coffee table wondering if i had drank so much beer so far (4 pm) that i might just fall out from a meger shot. i figured, i'll do some of the coke first, you know, clear my head a bit.

ZANG! ooooo i grind my teeth. my two front bottom teeth are really sharp. i knew somebody that had them capped cause they ground their teeth so bad. i wonder if i'll have to do that. get them capped i mean. maybe i'll get platinum covers for them. oooo yea, then i'll get those silver contact lenses. ooo i'll call myself beam, or bean maybe. white trash, two heebs and a bean is a great album...

and zong...now i really did need the dope shot. i hate myself on coke.

ouch (the insertion always hurts when you haven't done it in awhile)
aaaah.
it got really hard to breathe for a second. i felt my heartbeat catch on a hook in my chest. i closed my eyes. i regreted not cleaning up all my tools. i didn't want my butterfly to see all this. she hates it so much. then

it seemed alright if she did. i turned off the dvd player. i inteded to put on bravo, or amc movie classics, but MASH was on the station it was tuned to, so i watched that. thought about how much i hated that damn show when i was a kid. whenever that theme song would come on, that was my cue to beat it down to the basement and listen to cheech and chong records i didn't understand.

now, i'm sitting here writing this story.

maybe, when a day like that really happens to me, i'll write about what really happened today.
 
A new day, and no morning after feeling.
eating nut roll and planning to make a pot of coffee. i'm planning on leaving the television off today.
i'm getting pretty tired of acting young all the time.

today, the art museaum.
yesterday, dan and jamie and meshel and i went to the west side market here in cleveland. no drugs at all. sorry for misleading you, i hadn't written any new prose pieces in awhile and got caught in the shock of it again.
so, the west market, and keilbasa and gyros for lunch. meshel and i bought nice fresh plums and a pineapple. there is a great pasta place right in the middle. we got a dozen roasted red pepper and asiago cheese raviolis for dinner. we still had marinara at home.

since we moved to cleveland, we haden't been ale to make it to the library. well, one of the reasons is, my wife is a librarian herself, in willoughby, so really, how much time would you like to spend in a library per week. only so much yes?
but we went yesterday.
very nice.
there are two buildings that make up the whole of the library, one being old and restored architecture, the other being modern glass and steel.
they clash like plaid and paisley.
but...got some burroughs books and some steve reich cd's.
then, we spent a bit at the rockeffeller greenhouse. i was hypnotized there by the orchids. if you've never had the oportunity to stare peacefully into the body of an orchid...ah, what the fuck do you care, right.
so, time to make the coffee, don't smoke cigarettes and look at portraits by francis bacon.
god damn, when did i turn big?

pot of coffee is done and drank

off we are. i've sent off e-mails to all my friends up here. i suppose it's time i start mixing, mingling. here comes the beer and stale smoke. but, here comes pinball and perhaps bar fights.
i'm planning on making my mark up here. i just can't tell if it's going to be a smudge of lipstick or a bruise.
