Pay attention to the apostrophe on the 8, the eight is the key to everything like being behind the eight ball which comes from pool and you don't want to go to the shallow end because that is where the empty ideas are to be found just like in American Christianity or is this now a riff on God and Jesus so that you wonder what at this very moment you believe as if you are always taking your spiritual temperature like a fever or wondering if one moment you believe and one moment you don't and then get caught between purgatory and the deep-blue sea; oh say, did you see the saw and as the nursery rhyme goes, the nursery is the way to nurse, nursing a nurse or the great teat of oblivion--a bad word that the gamers grabbed; the gamers took the good words and left us with a wordless language and the gamers have their own that few others understand, you could write a gamer novel but no one would read it because gamers don't read so it would have to be a game of some sort but then it wouldn't be a novel or literature but a different type of story altogether. I love that word--all to get her, is the word misogynist? altogether, all get her, like a gang rape? or a cluster f*ck like the meeting of a traffic jam on toast, the toasted highway of bread crumbs but you can't get back to Gretchen's house because the birds at the crumbs from the highway, but if you don't do it my way then whose way did I do it? If I did it all all, maybe I didn't do it so someone else did and you can't blame me anymore. You will have to blame someone else, someone else who is nearby or far away as long as it isn't me but you. Yes, you're to blame whoever you are not me not me not me. Repetition, repeat the sounding drum or the repeat, repeat, repeat the sounding joy to the world or wold--a wold is something else and who can joy the wold or the copse or the archaic words and worlds the old, the aged, like those past fifty, and it has been forty years since the U-turn from the path of life. The Tao. The Way, as St. Paul said it. Paul is the one to blame for the way the way went off or was it those who used his name in vain? Salvage this bit of wiring and writing? Wiring runs the house and writing is the electricity of the page.
