I played dress-up today, what a laugher! I slogged through with the morning rush in my pressed pants, pressed shirt, and loafers. Everyone looked rumpled, tired, and ready for the weekend. When you're young and they say, You can do anything you want to do they should add, just not if you want to feel useful.

Brain vomit looks more depressing when written than in...

At words poetic, I'm so pathetic
That I always have found it best,
Instead of getting 'em off my chest,
To let 'em rest unexpressed.

I hate parading my serenading
As I'll probably miss a bar,
But if this ditty is not so pretty,
At least it'll tell you how great you are.

You're the top!
You're the Colosseum,
You're the top!
You're the Louvre Museum,
You're a melody
From a symphony by Strauss,
You're a Bendel bonnet,
A Shakespeart sonnet,
You're Mickey Mouse.

You're the Nile,
You're the Tower of Pisa,
You're the smile on the Mona Lisa.
I'm a worthless check,
A total wreck, a flop,
But if, Baby, I'm the bottom,
You're the top

Your words poetic
Are not pathetic
On the other hand, boy, you shine
And I can feel after every line
A thrill divine down my spine.

Now gifted humans like Vincent Youmans
Might think that your song is bad,
But for a person who's just rehearsin'
Well I gotta say this my lad:

You're the top!
You're Mahatma Ghandi.
You're the top!
You're Napolean brandy.
You're the purple light
Of a summer night in Spain,
You're the National Gall'ry,
You're Garbo's sal'ry,
You're cellophane.
You're sublime,
You're a turkey dinner.
You're the time of the Derby winner.
I'm a toy balloon that is fated soon to pop.
But if, Baby, I'm the bottom,
You're the top!

You're the top!
You're a Ritz hot toddy.
You're the top!
You're a Brewster body.
You're the boats that glide
On the sleepy Zuider Zee,
You're a Nathan Panning,
You're Bishop Manning,
You're broccoli.
You're a prize,
You're a night at Coney,
You're the eyes of Irene Bordoni,
I'm a broken doll,
A fol-de-rol, a blop,
But if, Baby, I'm the bottom,
You're the top.

You're the top!
You're an Arrow collar.
You're the top!
You're a Coolidge dollar.
You're the nimble tread
Of the feet of Fred Astaire,
You're an O'Neill drama,
You're Whistler's mama,
You're Camembert.
You're a rose,
You're Inferno's Dante,
You're the nost of the great Durante.
I'm just in the way,
As the French would say
"De trop,"
But if, Baby, I'm the bottom,
You're the top.

You're the top!
You're a Waldorf salad.
You're the top!
You're a Berlin ballad.
You're a baby grand
Of a lady and a gent.
You're an old dutch master,
You're Mrs. Aster,
You're Pepsodent.
You're romance,
You're the steppes of Russia,
You're the pants on a Roxy usher.
I'm a lazy lout
That's just about to stop,
But if Baby,
I'm the bottom,
You're the top!

You're the top!
You're a dance in Bali.
You're the top!
You're a hot tamale.
You're an angel,
you simply too, too, too divine,
You're a Botticelli,
You're Keats, You're Shelley,
You're Ovaltine.
You're a boon,
You're the dam at Boulder,
You're the moon
Over Mae West's shoulder.
I'm a nominee of the G.O.P. or GOP,
But if, Baby, I'm the bottom,
You're the top!

You're the top!
You're the Tower of Babel.
You're the top!
You're the Whitney Stable.
By the River Rhine,
You're a sturdy stein of beer,
You're a dress from Saks's,
You're next year's taxes,'
You're stratosphere.
You're my thoist,
You're a Drumstick Lipstick,
You're da foist
In da Irish svipstick,
I'm a frightened frog
That can find no log to hop,
But if, Baby,
I'm the bottom,
You're the top!

Who wants to go to A.C.? maybe then head down to Nashville? Why stop, we'll find New Orleans. We could stuff an old suitcase with beer, and drink it cold 'cause we'll store it in the trunk. We'll gamble, then we'll sing, and pay for lousy whores and who knows what else in between.

Ever been to tip 'n' touch? Times Square used to be...

THINGS ARE LOOKING UP and my dad is getting old. I can't get into either right now, so let's assume they're true.


Valentine's I woke too tired, cause I was here too late the night before. I woke and refused to put on my glasses and then cried. Sometimes it kills you to be loved, sometimes you can't sleep. Alarm! My girl walked the dog...

A BRUTAL DAY

Murry get's it right:

Heartbreak, old friend, goodbye it's me again.
Of late, I've had some thought of movin' in.
Of all the many ways a man will lose his home,
Well, there ain't none better than the girl who's movin' on.

True love, I knew, some thought of leavin' you.
Bad thoughts I had, when valentines were due.
Of all the...

Good morning. Good day-afternoon-night. Hi.

When do you get to say I love you?

I love you my suicide friends. I was going to name names, but you all know who you are. I wonder how would things differ if we had first met face to face?

Tonight my world was rightly shaken and I do not know how I will bounce back, or how...

I sing every chance I get.

The boat is the thing you get into when the ship is sinking.

I heard a plane again, for the first time in a while and I didn't shudder


...Some of the things I've written around here of late. Except for the plane thing, I erased that. It's still really difficult to talk about that day and I don't...

Old man winter has let Spring bend over and flash a peek of panties before our drunken eyes. I am a lecher, a lurker, filth in the gutter!

With another bout of winter sure to soon set in, I bring to your attention the distant arrival of SKIRT DAY!

SKIRT DAY IS MY FAVORITE DAY OF THE YEAR!

The sheer joy of skirt day is...

Yes, I forgot you're from NYC. Tell me more about your road trips through the country. Was it like you hoped it would be? I guess you want to do it again someday right? What's the best road food? I mean I'd get sick of just eating fast food all the time.

Here, the entirety of my first journal entry:

It's always better with a handclap.

It's always better with salt.

Coffee should be served strong.

Coffee could be better with you?


What a pompous ass! Now I am quoting myself. But even if I had nothing left to say, I think the first three things are worth noting. The last is just manifestation of my errant...

sophie:
again with the please don't laugh, but i feel i can share this without keeling over in embarrassment because you confess sily things about yourself sometimes. i always wanted to be a cheerleader.

i was too much of a nerd girl to do it. i ran on the cross country team and played soccer. my mom absolutely refused to allow me to tryout for cheer. she also refused to put me in dance classes. even though i badly wanted to do both. i think she wanted a daughter that would gain respect through her brain rather than her body.

aw fuck. i think i've gone and disappointed her.

how's your day going?

Weekend and I get to half feel like I can relish it. Who likes relish on their dogs? Kraut? Anyhow I can only half enjoy it because these two days are not hemmed in by the Monday morning blues. I worked this week, but am back to government funded compensation next week. No job. Is this what Dad imagined when he sent me off to...

I once told my dad that a girl had a fishhook in my heart.
It was the truth and she must because now I swim around in my little bowl and the world looks so big and beautiful floating above blue gravel with her. But that's not the point...

SG has a fishhook and it's impaled my brain and is sticking out my left eye....
