Paradoxs

[Richard Romeo]

oh well, here we are, telling stories as my friend jeff baker once sang to 
void the oft-chance that some terror will reach our door. And who can say 
that they wouldn't be happy to feel safe in this day and age from the blind 
wolf pack, but who can really say that?
We live under a new dispensation whether we believe it's warranted or not. 
Better to not discuss or try to judge events not in front of your eyes--who 
can say what is happening in the middle east or afganistan or anywhere 
else--surely you don't believe those purveyors of neo-realism, the 
journalists from the guardian or the wall street journal or any and sundry 
counter-punches.
What has Pynchon noted in some many of his public offerings:  that idea that 
we all know too much. And maybe all we have left is to make fun of our 
erections and moist secretions and the beautiful terror that is trying to 
create a life in this awesome, crummy world, the marriage of pure magic and 
malevolent violence to quote from Lucky Pierre.  Too bad there are those w/ 
too much of a dose of the latter, and not enough of the former.
Since 9/11 we've all said some pretty dumb things--guess that is to expected 
when the zone shifts a bit.
Believe those who are uncertain. Moral outrage is some sinister sign of 
something.
I know not what.
