On Some Propitiatory Comment


At one point I almost had to stick my head out the window;

head is full of dents and funny little configurations;

this extra number is also a devilish delight.


Positively and finally the one greatest laugh in all this world

was an evil thing to consider, allying myself with the

fans that the jellybeans were dangerous. It


will sit up front cuddly and close and tell stories as we zoom

to address yourself to this question in your own words

and I wondered, could it ever get bigger than


compulsive psychosis dashed with a jigger of psychopathic

subways. I watched him come up the stairs, four suitcases

with hundreds of possessed teenagers closing in on their prey.


The road was crowded and everyone exploding

with a reputation for being unpredictable. I'm

the injured children out of the crowd one at a time.
