the meaning of old people

[Iris Sirius]

Yes, that is exactly right fucking on.

The truth is hidden in broad daylight.

Something happened, in the 60s. What happened? Something transcendent
happenned, Then.  I was born after it.

Someone of you oldtimers, i fuck with you about being old a.d dying, but i
love you.

Michael, Ann Atbor cum Otlando, your a brilliant writer.  And you were
fucking There.  Describe the 60s to me.  All of us.

And Paul, Mr. M., I know you have muchtosay.  Let us hear your thoughts.
If youve been on this list for 15 years youve prolly encpuntered my kind
before, and explai.ed it all before.

Do it again.
