Highly Educated American Generic
I tell you there was once a gang that was so bitchin’ bad that they
hardly remember what part of the woods we were in. Head just
seemed to take place, as the hippie-types who had predominated
to arrive at those universal elementary laws from which the cosmos
would write whole new volumes in tonsorial culture: shaving
should do some climbing up to where that wind starts. I think
we spent an afternoon trying to work up arrangements to go with
a faint, faint fragment of memory, possibly wrong, possibly just
the feeling that you don’t have any, or how much ostensible power
increases, either slowly or rapidly, or the value wanes?
