reality whips dreams or dreams reality
dance with that for a bit
had read in Red Scare by Clay Risen that
the private secretary to Britains Lord Inverchapel handed Dean Acheson
President Trumans undersecretary of state an envelope explaining that the
message therein “a blue piece of paper” diplomat-speak a message of utmost
urgency and confidentiality meant for Secretary of State George Marshall
Acheson realised the communique was to
advise Marshall that Greece was about to fall to Soviet-backed Communists the British were not going to stop them
“a blue piece of paper”
was dreaming of a wife of a friend Susanne
an S not a Z she said when introducing herself she offered to help him look for a blue file folder
he absently misplaced somewhere in the house
within were pages of a manuscript and
several letters he needed to conclude and sendthey were long overdue
a blue file folder
when he woke they
did not find it
he immediately went to his studio and eventually found slipped down between top-spiraled sketch
books tall art books an Atlas the folder
and indeed
inside it was an
abandoned story waiting for it to gel
and two letters one in a sealedstamped envelope
the second unsealed the last sentence .
. . people are arriving, celebrating Halloween, have had three White Russians,
can’t buy a drink, my Dude impersonation, Big Lebowski, worth growing my hair
long, growing the itchy goatee.
