Hookers or Cake

Where the self-obsessed get serious about silly
I'm too wacky to be hip.

    • ------------------------------------- How this blog got its name

      ------------------------------------ There was a large painting of Evel Knievel shaking hands with Richard Nixon. It hung in the Mayors office. Late one evening after everyone went home. I took it down to the lab. I zoomed in on Evel’s left eye a 100x and enhanced it. It was an address. I went to the address. It was a modest, 1970’s style, split level ranch home in the suburbs.

      ----------------------------------- Inside I found a dead parrot lying on a waterbed. I revived the parrot with some saltines and adrenaline. We became good friends. The parrots name was Randy. One night a few years later while Randy and me played Gin Rummy, he sang me a song about a fire. The title of this blog was never mentioned but I sensed it, and Randy confirmed it by giving me ‘THE LOOK’.

                     some of my readers

                           I liked it coming out of that expensive
                           cafe in Germany
                           that rainy night
                           some of the ladies had learned that I
                           was in there
                           and as I walked out well-fed and
                           intoxicated
                           the ladies waved
                           placards
                           and screamed at me
                           but all I recognized was my
                           name.

                           I asked a German friend what they were
                           saying.

                           “they hate you,” he told me,
                           “they belong to the German Female
                           Liberation Movement …”

                           I stood and watched them, they were
                           beautiful and screaming, I
                           loved them all, I laughed, waved,
                           blew them kisses.

                           then my friend, my publisher and my
                           girlfriend got me into the car; the
                           engine started, the windshield wipers
                           began thrashing
                           and as we drove off in the rain
                           I looked back
                           watched them standing in that
                           terrible weather
                           waving their placards and their
                           fists.

                           it was nice to be recognized
                           in the country of my birth, that
                           was what mattered
                           most …

                           back at the hotel room
                           opening bottles of wine
                           with my friends

                           I missed them,
                           those angry wet
                           passionate ladies
                           of the night.

            “…after a few more drinks all the “stars” masks started to fall apart and real people began to peak through. Fags, Sex addicts, Drunks, Imbeciles. Society had turned on itself. It was a airless nightmare staged in a box that I never understood.”- Charles Bukowski on his appearance on Match Game 77’
