Let's go, indigo... This is your slip up. Hacksaw twin. Lumber jack. I resort to name calling when I am overworked. *So what? You compare me to the gun you left in a public restroom and I part the curtains enough for you to see the ritual. Ya know, the one with the crawfish and blood root - the one where I have a young Elvis Presley and a middle aged John Wayne and I touch them both obsessively and I burn the flesh of a cactus and I am dressed in plum colored velour tighter than skin.* Look, kid. *These things are real. The white noise, the favorite peacock, the heavy ashtray, the sepulcher holding my child - the crucifix thrown, the plastic soldiers under my toes, the belt that thickened my eyelids Shut - crybaby memory, but this is it. Ritualistic, & a guy wants to drown himself between the river banks of razor burn? Lord, help me.* If you talk through the end of another movie you aren't getting laid.
