------------------------------------ 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’.

Lately I’ve been throwing the I Ching with cat treats. How the treats land and how my cat devours them makes for a more complete reading. One point of view is a devouring entropy while another is purring magic. Of course the whole affair is backlit by illicit substances and much fire water.
My grandmother used to throw the I Ching with dildos “Either way, I’m fucked,” she’d giggle. And she was right. You’d never met a happier person.
