Day: September 12, 2008

So…
a few people have asked me what housewarming gifts they should get me
i didn’t realize this was part of the deal, i just want to have a party at my place
HOWEVER
i love the idea of gifts
so i’ll ask
and you can bring it if you have it to give:

the big red Allen Ginsberg book of collected poems
a small (hand held?) vacuum cleaner
a small nightstand or lamp table
extra house-plant pots of any size
extra full-size sheets (all natural fabric please, i usually sleep on 300+)
towels
a saw (for wood, not metal)
any interesting lamp…

i’ve already been given tons of clothes, so may be giving some away at the party
but anything beautiful and colorful (and made of natural fabric: including rayon) i would take

every once in a while
( like tonight )
I feel like defying socially acceptable behaviour

I want to stand in front of cars and make them wait
admonishing them for being so big and loud and noisy

I see all the fat men walking towards their wives
approaching the corner I’m crossing to
sitting on the steps as I walk by
I want to reach out and rub their bellies

I am not afraid of getting run over
or beaten up
but of letting myself get away with any whim or compulsion

being crazy is not caring anymore

I care!
I care!
