stumbled upon an old acquaintanceSLASHfriend he did remember

                                                                        unlike J. D.

initials acronyms threw him

Hermes Trismegistus Thrice Great

                                           How the fuck could he forget him

now if he could only remember the wellspring springboard he went off to find Hermes again

if he were patient

                      when he put his mind to somethingdidnt push cajole it from behind  itd eventually ask Remember

an eventually he would

Whawas I thinking

Thas your trouble

Thinking

Thinking too hard too much

                              Relax    Breathe  Let go

AHhe entertained quotes by Italian cryptologist Blaise de Vigenere French painter Nicholas Poussin

                                                                                                           spliced them together trying to help a friend quit failing at his execution

from which he pratfellrecalled Thrice Great his his as much as the Bibles Jesus teachings Hermeticism

he took a breath

Good Look at you

and another

              Thank you

the springboard to remember Hermes Trismegistus was how he vehemently disagreed with yet another take on Gawd

All things preexist in GawdNO He is the nature of the cosmos being both the substance from which it proceeds an the governing principal actually principle  but he had fun whenever he could the governing principle which orders it Get me extra onions and tomatoes on that burger please He is the nature of the cosmos yet the things themselves  the cosmos  were all created by GawdNO

Hermes Trismegistus was revered

                                     his teachings proceeded the accumulated gnostic Corpus Hermeticum fifteen tractates and the Perfect Sermon the Asclepius

Gnosticism really didnt irritate him

                                      although it chaffed the hell out of the thenforming metastisising Catholic Church which hunted Gnostics  destroyed their texts scrolls with the fervor the earliest Judeo-Christians sought to destroy eliminate venus figurines Mother Goddesses

   stumbled

               thought to himself  Wha a nice trip

writer director

when he watched a film and really liked it he found when the credits rolled that more often than notparticularly of recent the film was directed by the person who wrote it

                                                            an who else possibly knows the material sees it can realise it better than who conceived it

rhetorical

what he also discovered was dialogue that was so terribly honestauthentic that hed stop the film write it down so he wouldnt forget couldnt misplace it

day date time

                 as he was prone to do

Why do you do that?

I used to think I was being thorough

                                       Now I think Im anal

Did it again.

he heard it in her voice  as priests hear in confessionals

hurt

anguish

   she didnt have to say he knew

but between them they had a saying If you hadnt said I woudnt have known

they chose to be dropdead honest with each other

                                                    Brutal family members said of their relationship  chiding

they said to them

                   We choose not to be dishonest.

she was his girl

Again

resigned Yes.

Did she answer

   No. The message is The person you have called is unavailable.

                                                                       Then it disconnects.

Im sorry baby

Yah.  Me too.

               I don’t often make the mistake, but when I do I ride it out. I think, sometimes, it was a dream a bad dream. I’ve been in a terrible dream, she answers, I’ll wake up an it will finally be over.

he said nothing

there was nothing to say

she called for him to listen
