Her hair like a gong, redirecting his attention?
What, shaped bell-like as in the movie Pulp Fiction?

Or the buddhist gong that should change consciousness?

More irrationals than rationals.

Stomping off ... I never stomp.

She tends to get a little insecure

"Ha!" exclaimed Kit and Dally, more or less together.

li'l bitty American girls... ain't got a brain


When I read this section, after Stupendica,
Oh, sucker for love, I was glad to see that
Kit and Dally might be getting together.

But what do I feel here? Typical boy-girl thing.
Is it sexist of me? Is it the biological
asymmettry of responsibility after sex?
Is it the social boon of work for males?

I get this feeling, as I perceive in life,
that females poison the well with sarcasm,
then sit in it. Males prefer to go off, in
search of the simplicity and clarity and
reduction of that which is merely rational.
Well, some of us. rule-bound, luciferian.

For me, I would blame that I was never
properly socialized. TV raised me. My
adolescent consciousness was formed by
such a list as:
- Leave it to Beaver
- Father knows best
- The Adams family
- Mister Ed
- I dream of Jeannie
- Bewitched
- The Beverly Hillbillies
- Green Acres
- Petticoat Junction

And that, after all the trauma caused by
"The Master Cylinder" in Felix the Cat.

And conspiricy theorists talk about mind control.
No wonder I'm all fucked up. A sample of one. YMMV.

P.S. I forgot yesterday to mention that resentiment
that arises from the condition of mortality itself.

Yours truly,
