I have a secret....come closer...yes....don't be afraid. The world will hurt you, but I won't, or maybe I will, I never know anymore.

It's awful....and I am the easiest of easy targets, and rightly so.

I have been told my perception of reality is colored by my privilege and my experience. And though my heart rails against it, my mind knows it to be so.

Listen, I am a drunkard. Sometimes I raise my voice to women. I am big, and loud and when I am "in my cups" I don't think, before I shout.

I have been told that a shouting man is awful to a woman. That they experience each syllable as a powerful fist or a kick. Intentions are not the same as actions and as the son of a rape victim I have no reason to disbelieve.

Everyone assumes my separation is all my doing. The loud, drunk guy....and the infinitely patient first time wife past 40....I lured her, and abused her....and I did some horrible thing, maybe I cheated, maybe I put my hands on her. Some horrible thing.

It is easier to be the villain. I don't want to say hurtful things about the woman I still love. She has infiltrated all my circles...theater...academia. And even the people who knew me first, knew me sharper...assume I did something bad. I let them think that.

I guess in letting things seem worse than they were, I get the comfort of knowing it is a lie. Though the truth is horrible, nasty and violent enough without the patriarchal man/woman embellishment.

I still love her.

It is too late to find another like her.

It is not as bad as it seems...and worse than you could possibly dream.

Maybe some other time I will get a handle on it. Maybe one day I won't feel that I am eating my heart with a spoon.

As it is I hope for the best and know the worst is just another day.

Good afternoon, Senator, you look much taller on television. No, no, I don't mind at all, I actually prefer average sized men, they compensate in such delicious ways.

Oooh right to the point, I like that. No, I don't want to be your girlfriend. I have a boyfriend and you have a wife. I will be your fuckdoll if we can come to terms. My language shocks you? How can you even think about doing the things you are going to want me to if you can't even say the words? Besides girlfriends are demanding, especially this one. I am no princess, Al, may I call you Al? Unless you need me to be a princess. That's for the best. I can do everything except the hats, I always feel ridiculous in hats. You don't have a hat "thing" do you? Excellent

You spoke to George, yes. He handles all my financial things. You didn't come from a well heeled background, but you have a lot of money now, don't you. You must be corrupt as fuck, I like that in a man. No, don't be offended, I am not one of your constituents, like you I am a whore, and a well compensated one.

We have a little history that you don't know about, your uncle was one of my very first clients. Well, he needed a worshipful waif and I needed a condo in Manhattan and another in D.C. You take after him, don't you...I can see it in your eyes. I haven't seen the man in 2 years, but he still pays the rent on the DC place.

Did you not know I am a long term financial commitment. I am 32, Al. I know I look 23, my pussy feels 23 too, I had a procedure. Certainly, no 23 year old can turn you inside out like I can, but I will have to show you that, the telling isn't nearly as good as the reality. But truth is I can't do this forever. At some point I will be so old that you might as well be reduced to fucking your wives, I will still have to eat, Al. And I never developed a taste for Campbell's soup or Big Macs

No. No, I don't work for the Russians or the Chinese, I work for myself. Though at this point I should think it hardly matters. I have no desire to blackmail you, expose you or embarrass you, I should think your voting record is embarrassing enough.

I can be your dirtiest of dirty secrets. If you want me to be. Some men in your position like me to be known in certain circles. Prove their virility and alpha maleness and so forth, woof! Also, nothing cements an alliance like having your fucktoy gargle your new partners balls, am I right, Al?

If you can come to terms with George I will be at the Ritz Carlton on South Street at 8 p.m. Room service is included with all the usual powders and pills and other party favors. I will be wearing my sexiest nightgown, unless you prefer to wear a nightgown, I don't judge.

One bit of housekeeping, my ass is off limits to you. No, that isn't negotiable. That is one thing I share with my actual boyfriend. Yes....yes....that might be acceptable, you are like your uncle, aren't you.

So good to meet you Senator, I hope you and George can work something out. I think we would have a great time.

Meet Mr. Raymond

A fighter, from nobody and nowhere
From saw his daddy suck a dick for crack rock
His mother preferred bottom shelf vodka
The kind that bounces, not shatters when you drop it

The fights on the playground, the cafeteria, the neighborhood got him in trouble
Got him shot once
But the fights in the battered old ring got him noticed

He's not very quick but he's strong
He doesn't have much technique, but that chin
Nothing even resembling ring savvy, but that ridiculous endurance

Mr. Raymond doesn't fight 12 rounds
He fights round one, as many times as he has to, in a row.
Natural charisma
His smile was morning, but his fists were midnight

Not concerned with being flashy in the ring
His mouth does the promoting
His fists deposit faithfully to the Bank of Liver and Kidney
Paying big dividends in the middle rounds

Watch the power puncher tire
Watch the ring technician despair
Their best shots shrugged off like water on wax
As his machine rolls on

Weeks turn to years
Checks cash, women dance, writers love the quote machine
Opposing trainers think he is nothing special on film
Only to see their fighters start looking for reasons to quit in the 5th

He's old and he's slow and his power is not what it once was
He was never deceptive, even in his prime
He's beating you with his name
He is hitting you with his reputation

He puts you away all the same.

Married now, 3 kids, who will never have gloves cut off of their hands
Beautiful wife, reality TV star
They say he should quit, while he still has his mind
But the anger hasn't dissipated yet, though it is close, maybe next fight

The next big thing
Unbeaten kid with speed and power for days
Touches gloves with the aging champ
Looks at that shark smile
Listens for the bell, already beaten

Joseph Conrad (1857-1924)- Sickly young man and poor student, eventually found his strength and his voice in the Merchant Marines. His influence on literature and the study of human darkness was profound and many later authors were influenced by his bringing of non European flavors into English Literature. Through a troubled life that included a suicide attempt he was able to grow our collective understanding of human nature before his death of a heart attack in 1924.

James Earl Carter (1924-2021)- Jimmy Carter returned from his Naval career to manage his father's peanut business, despite his families wealth, Jimmy inherited relatively little due to his fathers forgiveness of debt and division of his estate among his children. His rebuilding of the family empire was curtailed by involvement in the Civil Rights movement and entry into politics. He rose to the Georgia state House and then the office of Governor before winning the Presidency as a dark horse. As President, Carter assisted in the Camp David accords and SALT II.

His post Presidency career was more impressive earning a Nobel Peace Prize and he continued his work as a humanitarian right up until the end...Following his beloved wife Rosalynn by only 4 months.


"Bodhisattva, another lifetime. Your 11th. Surely you have earned your rest. The human race,as a whole, seems no closer to enlightenment". "Then we must redouble our efforts, Master."


Ayotunde Balewa- (2021) Born to a poor Nairobi family. Ayotunde breathed his first with a squall. An inauspicious beginning for the greatest surgeon and philanthropist of the 21st century....

I pull my boots on, over my cloven hooves. One last glance in the mirror to make sure my red makeup is on, just so. To quote Danny Murtaugh, I am most definitely too old for this shit. But no one brings genuine heat to the marked out believers like the Ol' Lightbringer himself. My friend War, he is always absolutely slaying them wherever he goes. But the boys in the writers room don't really know how to use his new finisher "Nuclear Destruction" without making the rest of the show kinda anti-climactic, you know.

Famine should have been relegated to undercard status for YEARS. But his tag-team partner Greed seems determined to carry him. My job today is pretty fun. I get to squash those jobbers, Compassion and Tolerance. Setting up my Pay-Per-View with the American Way in a couple years. Honestly, I don't know what they are gonna do with this one in the writers room, some of the storylines have been pretty funky. The old days were so much cooler. Russia's heel turn after WWII was EPIC absolutely took everyone's breath away.

I don't mind the in the ring stuff, it is kind of exhilarating. It is the keeping up the image between bouts that is tiresome. I am really a thoughtful guy....I am all about "Liberty" and "Freedom" that whole "Do as thou wilt, that is the whole of the law" bit. Course the marks can't get over the "Evil, Evil, Evil bit" Yeah I gave your kid Cancer, can't possibly be that crap you keep pumping into the air amirite.

They have been hyping some kind of retirement match for me for centuries, but I don't see it. Honestly, I am still the only one who really moves the needle for some of the old school fans, the Company wouldn't be the same without me. "It's real to me, dammit!" Sure it is, cowboy. Michael and I work out together. Not in public, of course.

Hi, my name is fausts_dream, you probably know me from such Sheep Porn classics as "I only have eyes for ewe" and "Ram Tough" but today I am here to offer you something available no where else. That is right, thanks to a special arrangement with Mephistopheles I am prepared to offer you, for your reading pleasure, books that don't exist. That is right, for the low, low price of your second born or a sexual favor of my choosing you can read books you have always wanted to, but couldn't....because they don't exist.

I know what you are going to ask....Do you have "The Winds of Winter" and "A Song of Spring". You betcha. See George R.R Martin may be stalling, but in an alternate dimension he is in hell. And lets just say our motivational tools are better. BUT THAT'S NOT ALL!

I also have "Desperate Days", a new Stephen King novel written like he wrote them when he was on the booze and the blow, and his editor wasn't scared shitless of him. That's right, it's crazy Steve on a 172 hour bender with an actual editor to tame his meaningless 40 page side tangents. BUT THAT'S NOT ALL!

I also have "Tweets that are Coherent and Make Good Sense" by Donald J. Trump. One read and you will feel relief that the US and the world are in good hands instead of the pulling-your-own-hair-out terror you feel right now.

In addition if you call my toll-free-number in the next thirty minutes you will get the Late Stieg Larrson's new Lisbeth Salander book, "The Girl Who Took Shit From Absolutely No One".

My offerings aren't limited to the printed page though. For just a few favors more you can get Silver Screen Gems.

Woody Allen movies you can watch guilt free because they come from a dimension where he isn't a sick pedobear. And the centerpiece of the collection. THE ORIGINAL STAR WARS TRILOGY created by Universe # 310'S George Lucas...WHO CAN ACTUALLY WRITE.

CALL NOW! This offer is good for a limited time! *

*Probably it's available forever since I am going to be suffering for all eternity...but they say the "limited time offer" thing is good for getting you to buy.

The Lakota Sioux called me Igmu Tanka Paha, As you do not speak the song of rain and wind, that will do, you who have blasted into me with your dynamite. You are an exceptionally loud creature like the large reptiles who proceeded you. You lack their size and strength but you make up for it with your volume. Some of us old ones answer you with the song of magma, but it isn't out of anger, for you are a trifling thing. You carve four of your "heroes" into my face. They will still be recognizable as faces for two million years if there remain any creatures who recognize human faces, it seems unlikely.

I know next to nothing of your heroes. Rock has memory, but your time is too short to make much of an impression (without your dynamite). I think I approve of the tall-one....Lin-Cawn, because all things should be free. I remember a race not so different from you, but true space farers. they sailed away long before the first of your kind. Your songs would seem strange and savage to them, as they would to me, if I bothered to give them much thought.

I bear you naked apes no malice, for your time is short. How can you think of the future when you begin to die the moment you become aware? Know that in time, you will join the collective memory of dirt and rock and rain. You will persist...even beyond my life, when we both return to starstuff and the void.

Into the box again. I was born to run, but I am not a special horse. My sire and dam, mom and dad raced, earned their keep…but without distinction. More eyes than ever on us today. Because of the grey, the Superhorse, Caleb’s Ghost, never beaten, never seriously tested. The rest of us run to try to finish behind him. The little man with the whip, my friend Johnny (he is ordinary too) says, let’s give her a run boy.

I know my master’s daughter is sick, I know I could help, if I could somehow finish in the money. I am a pacesetter, I go out fast and hard, as long as I can. Then against this competition I usually fade, in the lower grades I hang on sometimes. The people around the track call me “game” and “willing” I don’t know what that means, I run because I have never done anything else.

The gate opens, and I fly; I have never gotten out of the gate so fast, so clean. I can’t see behind me, but I feel the gray calmly settling into the front of the pack while the others strain to keep up, he runs effortlessly. Around the first turn I smell the desperation of the jockeys as they frantically try to keep this insane pace, but I feel the grey…..every thundering step “run, run…horse…this is fun”

I am not tired yet, Johnny is caught up in the moment and doesn’t give me any feedback, so I do what I do by instinct, run almost as hard as I can…and hope to build a big enough lead for my inevitable fade. 5 furlongs in, I have built distance from the pack, Johnny is too excited…. he doesn’t feel the gray like I do his hooves beating their siren song “run, run, little horse…let us run forever”. They will put the roses on him, they say, but not today. Today he just has to catch poor little me. His usual jockey isn’t aboard, not for a little race like this. My heart thunders in my chest, so hard it wants to explode I try to keep up as the crowd roars its disbelief.

Too late, the backstretch comes…I taste blood. Finally, Johnny feels the grey, 6 lengths behind. He asks for more with the whip. I have none to give, I give it anyway. Did the new jockey wait too late to ask the grey? Does it matter? Caleb’s Ghost goes, like a cannon shot, ignoring his jockey. 5 lengths, 4. Hooves speak louder than words “I am coming little horse, I am coming”. 3 lengths, 2 “Can you feel me, little horse, you seem tired? I can run forever”. Oh God…is my heart going to explode….my lather has a sickly feel to is as I run in the rhythm of the whip.

There it is! The line! The grey at my side, surging. The line. The flash….

Photo for first. Hold all tickets
