You recognisedon’t you? you print
pretty large.
I do
Why so big?
Reason one my scribble evenif large is at times illegible I
get emotional Many people have insisted I
should have been a tagger . .
. . Or a
doctor.
Yes Although my bedside manners woud have gotten me in
trouble
Second youll remember grade school doing arithmetic at
the chalkboard in front of everyoneright
up there with having to make a speech to the class on a particular subject Well I spent a lot of time at the chalkboard Beatles
said it best “writing fifty time I will not be so” Anyway I believe theyve made me prone
to printing large
Writing fifty times on the chalkboard?
Wha
You remember tha as punishmentyah
I’ve heard of it.
Heard of it he was incredulous Were you a fuckin saint No no you werent Its who your parents wereyour Dad
You don’t know what you’re
talking about.
An idea
Certain people are easy to make
examples of Others are hands off but theyre
easily bridled by punishing someone else Basis of law I believe Yah Fifty
times on the chalkboard Then the teacher
woud ask when I finished if Id written it fifty times Yah I say Then shed have me count them one at a time Anwhen inevitably I miscounted I always had
long sentences I will not be so woud have been a breeze shed have me erase the board and write it
fifty times as I shoud have the first time
Once I had to write onehunred
times
Well, if you think about it, it’s
not really much of a punishment.
No increduloussquared
Out of the mouth of
someone who never had to write on the board
You havent a clue whayare talking about
Which you do frequently
Wittgenstein
without a flinch I’m just saying it wasn’t a physical
punishment.
Ohno Really
Ya have no idea ya didnt growup in Chicago The Chicago school system was easily on par as
tough as Catholic catechism classesyou ever kneel on a broomstick for
laughing at a Biblical tale Daniel in the lions den lions woud have eaten him
any selfrespecting lion woud have munched Nuns were brutal
They shoud have been allowed to get laid Priests for that matter too
The cherry on top the sundae
Writing on the chalkboard was afterschool
After school? he looked horrified
Yah
Come home
Mawd ask Why are you late?
Like she didnt know
Id say
Cracked
on the ass for screwing off
Anthen
the proverbial Wait till your father
gets home. Now go do your homework.
Which woud have me go up to my
room that I shared with my two brotherslept in the same queen with my brother until
he went in the service after graduation Something yanever didhad your own bed your
own bedroom
I coud hear my Dad come up the steps
undoing his belt
You have no fuckin idea
Two reasons likely of many if I
wanted to think harder why I print large
