...

What you say is what I felt, not an act of compassion doc, for your sake I hope it was an accident, a simple twist of fate. My sympathy to your family.

"Don't take your guns to town son".

excuse I got go work on my suicide note.

I susspose what pisses me off most about some famous rich writer getting rid of himself with a bloody bang is he could have afforded to be more Tidy.

Sail On Captain Joshua Slocum


http://www.joshuaslocumsocietyintl.org/


Nashville 1976

"Yep it was suicide, he killed himself."
Just out of the blue he walks up to me and says that. I have no idea who he is talking about.
So I say, "If I ever kill myself it will be with a sailboat."
This leaves him blank faced so I say, "ya ought to see the way I sail."

If I could have afforded it and I was sick, and in constant pain, and I couldn't write and I knew my best days were gone, I think I would have gone sailing. Chances are the sound of a sailboat cutting through the water would have healed me. And if not? I just can't imagine an "if not", I must certainly be a coward because I imagine death so much, maybe a funcition of age. But that image of the captain when he was a very old man sailing out of Boston Harbor never to be seen again, that is so easy on my mind, I would like to sail off into the sunset, but sometimes the idea of burning to death seems appealing,
"Judge no man happy until he is dead" Solon?

damn this is a lot shorter then I thought it was going to be.

Oh Mousey
awed by odd

we could start a chapter of th oddfellows


i like buddhabattleaxs's anger
me too
gonna life to 2050

103

then take stock

it took me a long tiime
to get cranking

those years in solitude
drunken stupor and
bewilderment.

now i am smooth

ya know
knipper is a young dude
by my standards

he's jammin here
yet has his military career
but i connected him with
post-military poets
Good ones too
and I guarantee
the man has yet to let it go and flow

and he will.

all beings without number i vow to liberate
endless blind passions i vow to uproot
dharma gates beyond measure i vow to penetrate
the great way of buddhabitch, i vow to attain

vida
I know this artist from Hokkaido
She almost died
When she recovered she became an artist
used words like
vive
a lot.
Got to fine her.

I have fought for live
for myself and others

Will find her
Aiko
