paranoia /\ what’s the catch?

from youth—
people being interested in me outside of family members doing and saying family things.

then formative adolescence: most interaction was either to make fun or find fault or do harm.

i don’t understand strangers approaching me.

what are you getting at?

whats the catch?

—- look at them go. instead of being finished say something about something
.connect to the internet.
connection established**
the one taking who talks fast like on coke goes out to smoke.
wears a shirt, t-shirt black, graphic on front with red sun and some cartoon characters

—- i become surprised when people arent using me. when that’s not coming around.

— there are many people smiling here in echo park.
many of them, i suppose, have a lot to talk about, or at least a lot to say.

i can barely lift my head, i can barely open my eyes.
i can barely stay alive.
that doesn’t say much for thriving.
striving is not the same thriving.

— i stopped using the word “i’ in my youth.

— i can barely poem my eyes.

— i’m really hardcore. i had bareback sex in my car with a person i had met 10 minutes beforehand in a cafe. he was argentinian. he said “i cum for you”. i wanted to lap it up but that was crossing the line for me at the time.

— continuity to life? whats the score?

somewhere in these afterthrows – a feeling
    i have not felt in some time

    and i feel i must admit it.

    it is regret

    . yes, i think this is what this is
    it is like
        having made a meal for oneself

        made with what ingredients for it remaining in the kitchen
        then spilling the meal on the way to the table

    it feels of a similar wavelength to shame, perhaps a little slower

    the feeling like one needs to say sorry to G-d

    its the piss bottle that splashes yalittle when finally going to dump it out

My bike has a flat. i feel great btw
I feel like sex is a special dimension that is also very dangerous

    I kept my ear to the force, and feel differently of “fun”(?)

    I like comic books; the stories inspire me and i feel the aloneness which nods at me

Saw Patti @ fort tilden Wow

– made a notebook for her Put a lot of work into it & Jo helped me by putting on the finishing touch of the yarn or string to loop around the button in the front

Handed it to Lenny who told me he would give it to her I believe him

Was shaking afterward at merely the prospect that she would get the gift i made for her (moreso than the chapbook i sent along with it, in case she wanted to read some new poetry as well and not just write it.)

They covered ‘Dream’ by Neil Young which made me tear up Very sync

And she looked like Ken, and moved like Ken It was deep
