opal smoke curled out of his mouth and nose

ganja

he wished it was hashish  or opium

he was more fond of either

his daughter and granddaughter had just visited

his daughter asked him if there was one place in the world he would like to visit where would he go

he told her considering her earnest that hed really have to think on it Youve likely already given thought to where youd like to goyes

Stonehenge! The day of the summer solstice they allow you to actually touch the stones  Id love to touch them hear them feel their voices

Man thats a sensational choice  Very tough to argue with antiquitythe Ancients

this morning his sister called from Illinois

she and her husband were readying for a trip to Norway part of a two-week cruise that went to Nordkapp(brilliant name) inside the Arctic Circle

the impetus for their visit was to see Jøkelfjordbreen the only European glacier(while there were still glaciers) that calved into the sea

Things arent more primal or sacred than glaciersdont you think she mused

Yes  Older than Man

Yes  Thats what I think

Hard to argue against prehistory babe

                            no sooner was than that was out of his mouth he realised where he wanted to gohe flashed to his visit to Akroteritremembered the film by HerzogCave of Forgotten Dreams Chauvet Cave in southern Franceoff limits southern France Arles Van Goghhed go to Amsterdamgo to Amsterdam to a cafe smoke some hash then wend his way to Van Gogh Museum and whenever he exhausted it hed take a train to Bruges Belgium to see Boschs triptych The Last Judgment at the Groeningemuseum Damn  I know where I want to go

Palodine  Revelations  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJw2X73Sj0A

I hadnt applied my usual inscription  epitaph

                                                         I would    eventually

everyone loves to hang an effigy by its neckhang it by its nethers then tear it down lighting its straw guts on fire

if you made one and hung it by whatever tidbit  youd feel your enthusiasm boil

but if I may  what you also have to do is try an grasp the psychology of the original offence why he or she became who he or she is

you have to deconstruct the person  plumb their mutation

what is apparent and plain to me is that the man is completely unoriginal  and I cant imagine the strain of being unoriginal

perhapsMAYHAPS  that is the linchpin to understanding

once youve faked youve destroyed your essenceyour integrity(more than a word)

theres no going back

trust is tortured

it hangs dully

an effigy

the die is set  and set until one dies

                                                           

it has to be miserable to be a lackey for those who are dead  to be a cog still spinning on the powerful centrifugal force of time past a cog to others machinations  

I can appreciate the seamless ease of following  there is context   precedence    

however to lead  to lead is to bear the unmitigated brunt and responsibility of being original   to be unrepentant 

to step backstep away  untethered   heroic

unoriginal is unheroic  no matter how hard you squint your eyes to make it something it is not

it would be hard to accept unutterable  Im a pawn

he is all show no guts
