I say:  we've got to find you a job -- you've got WAY too much time on your
hands.

"...I was fond of stick-dancing at one time.  There was some joy in that.
But then a man came and said I was using the wrong kind of stick.  He was a
stick-dancing critic, he said, and no one used that kind of stick any more.
 The stick of choice, he said, was more brutal than the one I was using, or
less brutal, I forget which.  Brutalism had something to do with it.  I
said, fuck off, buddy, leave me alone with my old stick, the stick of my
youth.  He fucked off, then.  But I became dissatisfied with that stick,
subjected as it had been for the first time to the scrutiny of a first-rate
intelligence.  I sublet the stick.  And that is why I have become
everything I have become since, including what I am now, a voyeur."
