experiment No. 1

I almost got headphones; but I couldn’t find any at Duane Reade. I need them to transcribe those notes from my recorder–I hate my own voice that much. I cannot risk anyone hearing it lest my reputation be stained, it would seem.

But I couldn’t find any. Plus it’s not like I have all that much money to be throwing around. Plus mommy’s coming up tomorrow with a bunch of my things and maybe even my headphones from back home. Maybe, if i’m lucky.

I did get a bunch of cheap little “scratch pads.” 1.59 for a 4-pack. Also a bunch of those cheap u-Bic-quitous pens–1.79. I hope to keep these pens and pads strewn about my room, coats, bags, life, so that in the moment of accidental, incidental, inspiration I can throw it down upon the cheap paper with the cheap pens and forget about it if I must.

Such happened on my subway ride back. It was just that cold and nasty; indeed I might have had a cock up my ass tonight if it weren’t. Damn you Jack Frost. Damn you and your kin.

  • little do they know; I remain quiet, smirking slightly at New York City
  • [PAGE]
  • “You better respect me” yells another to her confused man, then something about her hair–unintellible as her logic
