Kickin it

Fuck them all. Don't give a fuck.

That's how it gets when I'm just kickin it.

Put a seashell to his ear.

We just hired a new cook, and it's terrific. She has three kids and breast cancer. We pay her so much money, she doesn't have to cook. She can afford to take us out to eat. But she married this real loser with bad posture and a crazy younger sister with big boobs. I remember he had very bad luck, aspirin gives him headaches. He once put a seashell to his ear and got a busy signal.

May the circle be un-broken.

One o'clock in the morning.

At last! I am alone! Nothing can be heard but the rumbling of a few belated and weary cabs. For a few hours at least silence will be ours, if not sleep. At last! the tyranny of the human face has disappeared, and now there will be no one but myself to make me suffer.

At last! I am allowed to relax in a both of darkness! First a double turn of the key in the lock. This turn of the key will, it seems to me, increase my solitude and strengthen the barricades that, for the moment, separate me from the world.

Horrible life! Horrible city! Let us glance back over the events of the day: saw several writers, one of them asking me if you could go to Russia by land (he thought Russia was an island, I suppose); disagreed liberally with the editor of a review who to all my objections kept saying: "Here we are on the side of respectability," implying that all other periodicals were run by rascals; bowed to twenty or more persons of whom fifteen were unknown to me; distributed hand shakes in about the same proportion without having first taken the precaution of buying gloves; to kill time during a shower, dropped in on a dancer who asked me to design her a costume for Venustre; went to pay court to a theatrical director who in dismissing me said: "Perhaps you would do well to see Z. . . .; he is the dullest, stupidest and most celebrated of our authors; with him you might get somewhere. Consult him and then we'll see"; boasted (why?) of several ugly things that I never did, and cravenly denied some other misdeeds that I had accomplished with the greatest delight; offense of fanfaronnade, crime against human dignity; refused a slight favor to a friend and gave a written recommendation to a perfect rogue; Lord! let's hope that's all!

Dissatisfied with everything, dissatisfied with myself, I long to redeem myself and to restore my pride in the silence and solitude of the night. Souls of those whom I have loved, souls of those whom I have sung, strengthen me, sustain me, keep me from the vanities of the world and its contaminating fumes; and You, dear God! grant me grace to produce a few beautiful verses to prove to myself that I am not the lowest of men, that I am not inferior to those whom I despise.

J'interviendrai.

In the old days I had too much respect for nature. I put myself in front of things and landscapes and let them alone.

No more of that, now I will intervene.

A sort of a song.

Let the snake wait under
his weed
and the writing
be of words, slow and quick, sharp
to strike, quiet to wait,
sleepless.
-- through metaphor to reconcile
the people and the stones.
Compose. (No ideas
but in things) Invent!
Saxifrage is my flower that splits
the rocks.

Against the light.

Blind baby has its mother's eyes.
