life once again
big fan whirring behind me,
printer going full steam ahead,
shoving cd's into packets...
tracking down addresses
sending files down to houston
trying to burrow my way
down to a clean spot on the desk
just a minute ago
a scene from yesterday popped
into my head
my wife and I were standing on
guadalupe street in austin
we had just crossed the street
from the cactus cafe
over to our car
I could hear this guy coming
before I saw him
he was on a bicycle
and was shouting at the top of his
lungs:
"this is the end of everything!
this is the end of everything!"
full blown schizo style...
everyone one the sidewalk
stopped and watched the
madman as he pedaled by us
proclaiming immenent doom
"this is the end of everything!"
someone has thought that
very thing since day one...
