Paint as You Like and Die Happy  Henry Miller

the pull-quote hed use to incite others to read it -- he was always dismallydisappointed when people made faces  sneered  aligned themselves  deigned him separate  asif that would be offputting -- he smiled wide wideWIDER for he wasnt keen on sneers  and he wouldntfor a moment wanna be confused with their ilk 

                                                                                             people who didnt shit 

he preferred his literary comradeship with Miller 

                                                   What is more intriguing than a spot on the bathroom floor which, as you sit emptying your bowels, assumes a hundred different forms, figures, shapes? 

he regretted that he never had the opportunity to meet Miller a 7 June 1980 expiration date  everyone has one some choose theirs

he didnt find the Tropics until high school 1970 he assumedmistakenly that Miller lived in France he was dumbfounded that Miller returned to a country that preferred killing to fucking 

Grove Press legally published Tropic of Cancer in 1961 where it garnered more than 60 obscenity lawsuits in 21 states before the U. S. Supreme Court decided it was not in 1964

therefore his window to meet Miller was small

to be fair to himself a large majority of that time frankly was filled with sex and drugs and drugs and sex and making money to afford the drugs 

                            a fullbore fullsteam ahead effort and blissful time which did not distract or interrupt his bathroom floor gazing 

he was utterly confident that bathroom floor covering designers were peoplewere women hed enjoy fucking
