Bake, you must have one of those old-fashioned souls they were still giving out occasionally when they ran out of the new model. Goliard’s right, the new improved, post-modern soul is installed distinctly lower and it’s been streamlined and simplified back toward its original biological imperative. It is much more suited to life amongst concrete and graffiti.
I desperately needed to smile today. I kind of have this half smile, a smirk. The pain of remembering that somebody loves me, but I cannot be with her.
Yeah I miss my wife. And kids. But hey, they’ll be back in a few more weeks. Sometimes the soul IS deceived. But most of the time, it is right on almost everything.
Ah, dearies, you give me too much credit. I probably should not have been so oblique. That “soul is not deceived” line comes from one of my favorite The The songs, which, admittedly, I have not been able to listen to lately, because it makes me weepy and ferocious. But it’s a beauty of a song, and for some reason, it’s what popped into my head when I saw that goofy little graffito on a building in my old neighborhood.
Oh, and nmi...belated happy birthday, honey. I wish I’d brought you a cake.
That family of yours, they’ll be back sooner than you know.
ZASK . . .


yeah. all the drugs in the world can’t fool it. tromping happily down the road to hell, who can say what the soul is following? sometimes i wonder if it’s not directly connected to my sex drive.
but oh boy, whatta gambler, that Soul.
