I am Jane Goodall's Tanzanian monkeys typing about bananas. My fingers are Santa's little helpers. My hope is a sporadic rainfall - yet a torrential downpour in all creative environments. I am Theseus, unspooling golden yarn. Sisyphus, sweating uphill. Bukowski, scribbling away in rooming houses. A river always flowing. I am the nightmare of stagnancy and a God of Imagination.

His left hand is my brain...
Oh, I was writing something about me whispering filth into your mother's ears and about poisoning the sugar-plumb'ed dreams of your offspring - but then I stopped.
When one has to question or slow down when writing about nothing - then one has lost the game that could never've been won.
The distant sirens are now becoming louder. In seconds, they'll completely envelop me - I think that I'll catch my rhythm by the time they get here.
Loud. Abrasive. Distracting.
Now.
Here it comes.
I'm listening...and not writing.
And this is what we get tonight.
Me, writing about one moment right now - as opposed to all of the other stuff...
