THE YOGURT THAT GAVE ME A HEADACHE

a fern that is

an unpretentious shade of green

exists now exactly a 42% flickering

(on the back of a duck) also remember

a pale playground of celebrity

that came and was more sophisticated of course

than the useless, bare imagination

a shred of a sail or the wind

that once filled it

but is now the low work whistle of an industry that is fortunate

and that I love

not like the Indians

A Sick Child brought into the Temple of Aesculapius

Downstage right is a mattress that has ruptured in parts and dirt and marigolds spill out of its fuzzy wounds. At the DS end of it is a silver bucket with red apples floating in it. There are 25 ladybugs set loose on the stage and everywhere. The space itself should feel vaguely like the inside of a mouth. It should be both under construction and falling apart. A woman walks too quickly on stage. She is holding an icepick in one hand and a hand-held tape recorder in the other. As soon as she enters she begins talking rapidly into the recorder.

WOMAN
Last night I made a two hour long video of my face while I watched Honey I Shrunk the Kids for the first time since I was a kid. I don't know. Anyways. It’s day one with the strips. I don’t know. I read the box a bunch of times but I can’t tell if I’m doing it right. It feels weird. It feels squishy. It feels artificial sort of in a good perverse way? It feels like there is weird fabric on my teeth. There is weird fabric on my teeth.

WOMAN lies down on the bed face up and traces designs in the air with her fingers.

A phone rings

Why does it say 3 posts when there are only 2?

...And
Here is a review of my night, which has not happened yet.
Tonight I will go out to dinner with my family and my brother's girlfriend, Die, at a Moroccan Restaurant entitled Tizi Melloul. The restaurant, situated in a high-end Chicago district at Wells and Grand, is most notable for its extravagant decor and mysterious dishes. Spices, scents, and flavors abound in this dim-lit and musical haven from the outside bustling streets of The Jungle. I myself tried a refreshing drink with a fruit, clear alcohol, and diluted temparment, a meat dish and a salad, with a chocolately dessert to follow - all very good.

Following dinner, some of us went to see "UP" playing at 9:20 and 9:40 at nearby theaters. Cute and funny, especially because I was in the mood for a laugh and a good time, I recommend this movie to children AND adults!!!

A little Poem

I liked you better before you were famous
and when you were famous
But not now; I'm the only one that knows you
