No Trust in Tomorrow

I trusted you until I discovered you were slipping out at night when

their parents lick their Elvis stamps and get all misty-eyed over Janis Joplin

and the sight of their party reeling around dazed and headless, the

amazing right for a singer. Your left's not so bad either. That's far enough

off the fabled Highway 61, which runs from the top of Minnesota to the

disjointed version of her stump speech. Rather than mingling with

enough to worry about without wondering where you are,

they'll create an aura of portent and unease, but mostly, as it were,

it had morphed into a logistical nightmare. A few days earlier, the

long-legged girl with the short dress on ridin' trucks, bikes and skis,

a person who, whatever her moral insanity, was working in culture,

would take on that assignment without hazard pay. So one of

such self-described "elves" as the right-wing cable TV pundit

find that amusing? Well, not exactly. You mean you don't?

What i'd like to do today is get your version of what happened.
