Splurge my pancake. Its sex we all want.

Sex with oceanographic snails,

Giant anteaters with pouches big enough to snuggle in.

Seen through the searching prism of ideal self-actual projected admiration.

Can it scale the torrid steeple?

Better it should rain at night.

What if the nipple is a valve of the heart?

Opening, and exposing to the skin

the lesser erogenous zones,

Like people other than ourselves,

When we feel we all are one:

That is the non-sexual movement.

Beer eared it seems a right prickly macaroon

Sure as I'm alone right now.

Carpet mermaid, She was.  A-glowing,

her dress,  squeaking with glee.

If she says no, which I'm sure she will,

ill kill my self.

I told her with salt that I have scurvy,

but she still wouldn't give me her oranges.

I could feel my unravelment,

My disinravelment,

Like so many shoestrings, just above the sidewalk.

--------------

My home, its true, a shallow grave

My arms and legs my slave

Slurping gruel in fading light

Join me as I kill the night

when too mute muttering moot

Our original founder floundered and drowned.

    When Arbitrary ambiguity is the only thing happening.

You must Be the one

Kill a gun

Knife a Crip

In the hip

Don't be shy

It's the 21st century

bout with the doubt

Rout and blast

All your past

the sun is not the issue,

It's with you

And within you

Like sinew

See through you

have x-ray vision;;

Kim - Jesus zack, oceanographic snails?    Their going to take you away one of these days, and I don't mean to Hollywood.  Your nuts.   Great, though.  I know you know it.

Zack --  you must not be showing me everything you do, cuz this is way better than the last shit you pawned.

Kim - well, I'm still keeping my journal.  I've managed to stick to it, off and on.   That was pieced together from the good stuff.

Zack - really?, I want to see it.   

...your journal.

Kim - yeah, right. In your dreams.  

 my dad finally said I could use the boat by my self.  I want to cruse it up to Cape Wilberforce and out to Bermer Island.   I need to show I can do it before he's going to let me take it for a two day.   I would still love to go to SOFT.

Zack -   You know you would get so arrested.  First by them, then by our police.

Kim -- they'll never know we were there.

Zack  --- what! As if.  Your not getting me to go. Your psycho.

Kim  - look, my new plan is we wear painting respirators, so we don't blow there quarantine.   Then they'll be mellow if they catch us.

Zack  - you'll look like a terrorist, and they'll shoot you before you can even say who you are.

Kim  -- I've thought of that. We go on Christmas eve, in the middle of the night, dressed as Santas.  They'll think were religious fanatics who want to convert them.

Zack  - oh, of coarse they will.    You just want to do a publicity stunt.  You're an egomaniac.  I act like one, but you really are.

Kim -  if anyone is an egomaniac, you are.  Anyway,  its people who go for it that get it.   It's the only way to petition their government, sense they don't have a government.      I sent them my resume, not that there's much on it, just mostly to show I'm serious.   I did get to talked to the guy at immigration. He said "your writing impressed me terribly".  So I was all like  "that's great! I'm so happy!". 

  He said, "No, no. I hated it".      They like ostentation; you can tell from the manifesto.     They say rule your own fate and that's what I'm going to do.  They don't "own" that island.    No one really owns anything except by the physical ability to keep others off, and by public option of the "ownership".

zack -  where did you read that?

Kim - I learned about that subject, some about that subject, from the SOFT manifesto.   That's not what it says, but that's what it implies, if you think about it.

zack - well, everybody knows they bought it and own it.  Its like you want to open someone's backyard gate and cruse around.

Kim - true.   The thing is, if someone has such a big backyard that they can't begin to use it, then they can't rightly justify fencing it. 

zack - ill agree with that, but who says SOFT isn't using their land?

Kim - nobody's fully using anything until I'm helping.

zack - lard have mercy!  I knew it had to be that.
