when do you put down your pen(your brush chalk charcoal pencil stylus)


when youre unconsciouswhen youre indisposed  earning a livingentertaining family or friends  seeking your own entertainment



he remembered how he felt when Tony Judt was turned Off                                                          his seething roiling filled-to-the-brim vessel kicked over

his books now  soppy remnantssponges of his cooling water   
                                                 though six years later they can still scald you


he remembered Camus Fanon Said Miller Nin Hemingway Burroughs Dick Joyce Twain Orwell 
                                                                      Oh well & So it goesVonnegut

not that hed forget
               he wouldnt forget
not until his vessel was kicked over
                           not the canvases Van Gogh Picasso Gauguin Monet Kahlo Chagall Miro Riveras murals not the sculptures the anonymous Stone-aged Primitives Greeks Mesoamericans Africans Michelangelo Moore not the cave paintings the fingerpaintings in France and Spain and Bulgaria

he would not forget the heatall and every bit of the worlds unfettered imagination and inclinations and Jeez  he knew
if they were stacked one on top of the other they could follow Voyager beyond our solar realm



you dont put them down

theyre taken away from you against your will



Obsess.

“Research published in the medical journal Lancet estimates that 88,000 Americans had heart attacks from taking Vioxx, and 38,000 of them died.” hmm  43.1818181% died   thats playing Russian roulette with two-chambered bullets in a five-chambered revolver


do you think if you pressed those five-chambered revolvers to the heads of the Merck Board theyd vote to admit fault


no matter their vote hed still pull the trigger
                                   sounding either a duull cavity or the sharp report of reciprocity



this excursion began with him reading Charlotte Soilihis comment “Super voix” to a Youtube Zap Mamas Mupepe post

voix is French for voice

he didnt know that

entering voix into Google it first rendered Voixx  a 1999 FDA-approved painkiller that within five years of it being prescribed provided half of its compound description
