Doors open at 7:30, show starts at 8pm.
It's always polite to be there earlier.
Travel is a mirror for who we are.
How would you define your travel style?
Should you be polite to artificial intelligence?
Straight answers that are slightly polite are always good.
Conversation-starting pieces of clothing will easily draw attention.
Social pleasantries in questions & answers should be strongly discouraged.
There are three-month-old dumplings on the ceiling fan.
That's a style, not a confession.
Threshold
Liminal space beckons. Is filled
with fresh-cooked bagels that I
know can't be real because they
smell too good. I am standing at
the top of a stairway that leads
down to the local rail station. All
I can see are steps & a sign on
the wall that says This way to the
Led Zeppelin concert & looks out of
date. The smell of bagels comes up
from the bottom of the stairs: there
are no signs of trains or travelers;
posts an emptiness that is both im-
minent & has fragrant disconcerts.
A line from Leopold von Sacher-Masoch
Is there a border we will never cross,
or are there only plateaux that
follow on from one another, each at
a different height? Some things I
can never know for sure; but I remind
myself that every day is a new begin-
ning, that from now on I no longer exist
as I am, or was, or ever will be again.
A rarely explored tonal pathway
He tore pages out of An
Open Doorway to the Almighty
& ate them. They repeated on
him, percussive, but still melo-
dic, much like a glockenspiel.
