Fear & Loathing in Doraville: Epilogue
Apr. 4th, 2005 10:33 am"I would now like to read from 'The Curse of Lono!'"
~John Cassady,Planetary #11,Cold World
Hungover.
Too much Jack & Adrenalin left in the blood to stay asleep last night. Got to work before dawn. Dry facts of bills and the smooth feel of the keyboards on my fingertips. Tongue tastes like cold coffee poured into an ashtray. Mud brain with slow turtles of thought crawling out of the memory ooze. Paper cut images. Sharp sudden slices of last night cut across me when I rub the strain out of my eyes: Bullhorns, confetti, balloons,toy guns, whiskey, fireworks, prose poetry puns, typewriter, strange hats, chain smoking, face swarm, red lights, microphone, scattered books, laughter, kisses and the strange rush of reading up there on the small stage, simultaneously one of the most frightening and empowering experiences of my life.
But right now I need protein & serotonin.
Back to reality.
