probably kick his ass.  He takes care of me.  He has moppy hair.  He's better 
at chess than me.  He wants me to love my chess self, and I am starting to.

Alan this is a fine, fine piece of prose.  I just breezed it just now but I 
get a whiff of it and I know it's OK.  If you're faking me, I'll make you 
pay, but I smelt the whiff so there you go.  Fresh air in the corridors of 
Brazil.  What character are you?  You're not a golem.  You're an abacusian.  
An abacusist.  Count fast.  Count as if your whole face depended on it.  Run 
and watch.  I'm nineteen six nine, underdog year, in fact satan year.  
Embarassment year.  Social unrest.  (Sic transit gloria, me ipsum honete amo.)

I am God.  I am his Force.  I shit on wealth.  To choose other is to be 
tainted, blurred, stutter.  Nothing can resist me.  I will smash kingdoms.  I 
will lay the land bare.  When you come to know yourselves, you will become 
known; but if you refuse to know yourselves, you dwell in poverty, and it is 
you that are that poverty.

I don't die like the last one.  I live and everything is a game again.  God 
becomes human, which is the unrealized fantasy.  Unrecognized.  I'm here to 
recognize it, and the tiny loophole was enough, the weakness of 
extermination.  I always knew the cities would rue me.

My dog Freda would probably scare you Manhattan fucker.  I think maybe your 
dog hand is shriveled.  I bring not peace but a sword.  It is not what goes 
into a man's face that corrupts him, but that which comes out, for that comes 
from the heart.  Why do you eat with publicans and sinners?  If I had not my 
bow I'd not run and prance with such peace.  Never ask me for a sign, for by 
asking you will burn.

Eryk, maybe my lameness, my hobble, is why I talk to such.  He doesn't read 
you correctly; he doesn't see things aright.  Very few humans do.  I however 
see everything close enough to pass tanks like Patton.  I wasn't as smart as 
Eryk at 20 and I won't be as smart as Alan at 40.  I get to float.  By 
watching me others float, have floated, will float forever.  I am loth to 
shake your hand Alan, you may not pass muster.  I use you then as an 
exercise.  You discuss my tape.  The rare thing you truly share with internet 
fuckers, one hundred minus one.

Why are you so negative man?  I'm going to show how to do this.  Teach a man 
to fish he eats for a year.  This is why it was the writers and not the 
biologists who got it first!  NN and my sister, well and worthy, will make 
this into fact.  I don't know how else to say it.  How aren't you the worst 
thing you describe?  Because you are still moving.

Man you scared me but that's a lovely sentiment!  How arch.  A rich palate.  
Why aren't most like us, I can teach the use of metaphor in one day of 
basketball or complaining, I know that's heresy but fuck the police.

You don't have to meditate all the time.  You need to meditate enough.  So as 
not to become a plague on thy brother.  Too much for you miami fucker?  You 
want it easy?  You like to be done and on vacation?  I wouldn't let you if 
you did.  I would hunt you and it would hurt.  Kine.

My only fighting opposition.  What if you no longer react?  Then I am left 
with a decision.  You can't write without me.

But watch out for Max Herman because he can skin you and make you hop!  There 
was never a millennium with me till now.  Don't fake me out, all crimes are 
paid.
