Lesson 2-The Ending
All too often, the budding author finds that his tale has run its course and yet he sees no way to satisfactorily end it, or, in literary parlance, "wrap it up." Observe how easily I resolve this problem:
Suddenly, everyone was run over by a truck.
-the end-
If the story happens to be set in England, use the same ending, slightly modified:
Suddenly, everyone was run over by a lorry.
-the end-
If set in France:
Soudaincment, tout le monde etait ecrass par un camion.
-finis-
You'll be surprised at how many different settings and situations this ending applies to. For instance, if you were writing a story about ants, it would end "Suddenly, everyone was run over by a centipede." In fact, this is the only ending you ever need use.*
*Warning - if you are writing a story about trucks, do not have the trucks run over by a truck. Have the trucks run over by a mammoth truck.

high brow people lose their sanity
when the middle can not hold
moved through the arteries of the USA like the flying Dutchman, happy as a clam in a 18 wheeled can. Everything gets so intellectual sometimes, so abstract. Symbols get corrupted, and thus men keep there innocence like Dorian Gray. Hell I don’t know a got dam thing anymore. There are always two people, as seen through a wind shield only
Now here is a picture of a west texas road, a two lane or interstate, no idea of the time of year, but too me it looks cold, hard Wyoming winter blue norther cold, freezing rain and there he stands, as seen on Husserl’s TV, the two fold continuous multiplicity of a windshield
I am not an artist, I could not tell you what I see in that drawing. It could have been a boiling hot day in the Texas pan handle that day. But somehow it makes me feel cold. The serenity of the solitude of the road. Back on my wheels again.

about to fall asleep at the wheel
fucking phoenix traffic
come around sunrise curve on the ten, when genuis in the DOT designed that road. It must have had something to do with that law suit that held up the intersated for thirty years. the last section of interstate ten completed was that bit on I-10
nothing personal, phoenix is just a hell hole.
