Wine-life on the anti-frontier: My brother and I watched Raising Arizona and I drank 30% of the liquid contents of the house. The weather is nice and the food is plentiful and the river is high. We lit a fire tonight. Nobody played Scrabble but I finished a crossword while my dad watched Borat The Movie, regularly farting and being smug about it.

Uh let me see, what are some good inside jokes and allusions to things I did with one specific person who, if they were reading this, would be the only person who could possibly know what I’m talking about that I can put in here this time?

Been manufacturing the new myth in the early hours, dreaming it and then waking up and finding that it’s all so suddenly real. Rambling life action: can’t control my hands or my eyes or my mouth when I’m asleep, wake up regularly with calluses from sleep-guitar, no voice from sleep-reciting, red eyes from wide-eyed at dreams. Wake up and all of the food is gone except for a neat plate of leftovers, and how did I learn to cook and arrange so well in my sleep, and at what store did I find those ingredients in the night? It’s simple: I am that persuasive in my sleep. I talked my way in and bought them from the usual grocer, who closes at ten but was persuaded to let me into the blue morning light store 5am early, and to put on the record of my choice over the store’s public address system while I shopped (Velvet Underground self titled). Wake up and my clothes are all mended and my fingernails are trimmed, wake up and my work is all done and my drawings all finished, wake up and my recordings are mastered, videos finally shot and trips all planned, baroque sketches for the future on bedsheets, legs sore from hundreds of miles of bike riding up on the long path to the river where we swim and play in the mud, summers of the future stretching out like perfect tigers languid full and lithe
