le soleil du désert -André d'Hôtel

il aperçut bientôt un homme qui lui apparut dans les dernières lueurs du jour, fort bien habillé, presque élégant même. Il portait un veston et sure sa chemise blanche s'étalait une cravate sombre.

 -Bonsoir, monsieur, lui dit Jonas. Permettez-moi de me confier à vous.

 -Personne ne s'est jamais fié à moi, répondit l'homme.

...his mouth began to fill with blood, and then, silence.

the occupant of this particular room was Esam

no grounding in the classics

i haven't slept

for 3 nights 

or 3 days

and my eyes are more 

red than white;

i laugh in the mirror,

and i have been listening to the clock

tick

and the gas

of my heater smells

a hot thick

heavy

smell, run

through with the sounds 

of cars,

cars strung up 

like ornaments

in my head, but

i have read

the classics

and on my couch

sleeps a wine-soaked

whore

who for the first

time

has heard 

Beethoven's 9th,

and bored,

has fallen asleep,

politely

listening.

just think, daddy, she said,

with your brains

you might be the first man

to copulate 

on the moon.

Charles Bukowski

A madman's ravings, ... are absurd in relation to the situation, in which he finds himself, but not in relation to his madness.

Jean-Paul Satre

merci beaucoup to our very kind sound engineers 

But i will wear my heart upon my sleeve

For daws to peck at; I am not what i am.

Othello, Shakespeare

this week, we record.
