"Hey, you, reader, listen to me! I'm not used to being listened to all that often - none of my people are for that matter - so I'm just asking for two minutes of your time and hopefully you'll give me more time after you keep reading"
I decided that will be the opening statement of the book I am writing, about things. Yes, I'm writing a book about things, simply things. I notice a lot of things lately: things about race, things about war, things about love, things about snow crunching beneath my boots, things about friends on drugs, things about having sex on drugs, things about crying on drugs, things about doing all of the above sober, things about eating, things about not eating, things about books, things about French men who think "Arabiens" are hot, things about STD's, things about blond boys, things about Jewish boys, things about song lyrics that are like math equations, things about borders, lines, boxes, and walls, things about blond boys giving me STD's, things about Jewish boys who love me anyways, things about eggplants, things about my mom cooking eggplants, things about childhood memories helping my mom cook eggplants, things about burning cities, things about people laughing in burning cities, things about people fighting in burning cities, things about smoking hookah in burning cities, things about the word "hookah," things about the word "Arguileh," things about Madonna, things about Khalil Gibran, things about dancing to Madonna with my sisters and aunts when I was five, things about gay men, things about Madonna, things about gay men who don't notice me, things about lonely cats, things about lonely sisters, things about lonely beds, things about men who like cats that sleep in lonely beds, things about God, things about how no book can be written without mentioning God, things about forgetting what you should do, things about doing what you have to do, things about energy, things about energy living through me, things about my destiny as an instrument of energy, things about now, things about now, things about now, things about now, things about now, things about now, things about how even if I say it enough times, people still won't think about NOW!
coming soon . . . don't miss it!
