Our lives are so completely impractical
Capitalism is a giant wealth machine and it creates rich persons. There is a small industry for producing books telling us how to get rich, or how to manage our wealth.
That is a small industry in itself
I get rich, then I write a book telling other people how to get rich. Get rich, then I write a book about it. I am so nice
Everyone believes in a world that is in truth completely impractical
everyone believes
The top persons at “Wendy’s” fast food company are muy rico—very very “rich.” I go there. I get coffee with breakfast potatoes but it’s very difficult to do that today
Because I am writing. Should I
Take the notebook with me to Wendy’s? Should I
Continue my writing there
And get food stains all over the manuscript
Well—in which way does my writing correspond to stains
from potatoes and coffee?
Is this idea frivolous? Is there no connection?
Music or story always tends to be connected with something external, like a prop or something. This is a consideration of the tool used to create it. An idea of Dylan’s. Should I add a footnote to explain where he said so?

Are person with tattoos about to explode? A
spinning top can spin for a long time. And
capitalism falls too.
They go off to war; if they die, that’s too bad. But if they live
they bring their medals back home to place on the mantle
I was home-LESS; but now I am in a room. And
guess what—I don’t feel safe.
girls do it, all the time
