Another recent discovery:

 pure sex"--E.B. White. You can
 say that  one more time ....

Unreal people start
bossing me around, like they
owned a piece of me...

Bobby is screaming
at me, in the middle of
The Da Vinci Code.

Nick: Jack and Ennis;
Jack and Ennis: Nick. the
bookends of my life.

Sometimes, I feel we
talk endlessly, cocerning
two unreal people

And sometimes, I feel
 they are the only ones --we
 but shadows of them

Grit:

Three stories in my
head--hey! one's about me!...Well,
another time, maybe.

The alarm sounds at
8; I went to sleep at 5--
so... not a bad night

I know last night I
jacked-off, but can't remember
if I came or not.

Samwise

Since you wouldn't let
me carry It, I carried
you, It, together

So I too will go
to the Gray Havens, where we'll
surely meet again.

                                The Lord of the Rings, the Return of the King--appendix. Don't think the movie went that far (there are long. long, long movies, and then there are long, long, long, long movies...) but Sam Gamgee, after returning home to Hobbiton, marries his sweetheart, has many children, grandchildren and greatgrandchildren, and is elected Mayor or Hobbiton many, many tims, but finally follows Frodo, Gandalf and the Elves to the Gray Havens, as "the last of the ring bearers."

It's all right there in the appendix of the book, aboiut the later expoloits of Samwise. As for Sam loving Frodo--God, was there ever a human being moire devoted to another--excuse me, I mean a Hobbit? When someone did a BBM Spoof called "Mount Doom," my main objection was that most of the scenes are right out of LOTR--they're forever flinging their arms around each other. And of course Sam does carry frodo, carrying the Ring, because Frodo wan't let him touch the ring itself..I'm just saying, i didn't make any of it up!

haiku for leslie's first and third drabble:

What bad times were there?
every time we fuckin' said
goodbye, those were them. .

_______________________________________________________________________
a can of pea soup
a can of tomato soup
and a can of crab

We have done those things
we ought not to have done, and
there's no health in us.

Thank you, Julie. No one has ever written haiku for me before.  :)

Just thinkin' out loud...

you Prince among Men,
you sonofabitch
find someone to love

before you''re old, like
me, with memories of the
long green days of youth.
