..or may not be the porkfat you're familiar with. so, the supper table was long and those of us who were seated our backs towards the view, were given silver framed hand mirrors to enjoy the scenery. josephine was stunning sitting next to le corbu and van rohe looked and acted like he had one too many. with the help of my mirror i could see andy warhol doing napkin drawings and gossiping about cleopatra who, i hear left him out of the guest list in her summerplace in antioch. lately object of napoleon's fantasies, cleo, this afternoon, was sharing the table with a looser named van gogh who napeleon wanted to hurt real bad. tall dors opened obviously for a special guest and much to my amazement el duce entered the room holding hands with marlin monro who was trying to hold her flying skirt down and taking small steps to keep pace with musso.

Then the rain came and it was heavy. The drops were like lead onto JD's Kevlar Vest. However, it didn't feel like rain. Actually JD could feel nothing of the rain. He held out his hands and watched as the water gathered in his palms. "Why can't if feel the very thing I see before me?” JD shouted in anger. He fell to his knees, the water splashed from beneath him. It was then that he knew he this world was not real and he was only a rendering caught between his intellect and his madness. He lowered his head and whispered...

JD knelt down to the curb and a tear rolled down his cheek. The left one. All this time, he had never fully come to terms in any manner with the awesome power Satan's henchmen had over his every move and every thought. The breasts, he though, may as well be the eyes of the dark god of the underworld, coaxing him into sinful lust.

"Hoooly Boooooly Booooh!"
A voice came from behind him.
"Blaaaah!"
Was it a young woman he heard? He strained to hear where the voice had come from, but only the sound of rain drops on black pavement came to him. He turned back toward the street, and there it was again,
"Whaaaaa - wooooogly booooogly baaaaaah!"
The voice was louder this time. Closer. But the origin was still hidden from his mind.
"Hey - you . . . Oaaah. Woa, what the . . . now . . . Now hoooa?"
Then all at once, as if she had been there all morning, he saw her in the rain. Soaked red dress. Jet black hair. Mouth swollen in the moist afternoon air.
"Moooogly Boooogly Blagh!" she declared through red lips. This time in his direction. She walked toward him slowly, looking down at him in the rain. Dark green filled his mind as he met her eyes.
"Maaaaloooff fooooby doooooby doooo!" She repeated. At least he thought she had said something like that a moment ago...

The sweet, melliflous strains of Van Halen's "Panama" coming out of the busted speakers of my Buick Skylark. I park my car on the side of the road, and as I knock back a couple of Bud tallboys, I hear the voice of David Lee Roth, poet laureate of the 3/4 sleeve, shaggy hair set:

...it's interesting how the Guggenheim circular rotunda with spiral ramp is a reenactment of the Vatican Museum's entrance rotunda with double helix ramps.

Yes, Wright's design (1943-59) essentially reenacts Momo's design (1929-32). Did Wright covertly sense, or did the Guggenheims overtly express a desire for a Jewish Vatican Museum?

[BTW, Momo's spiral rotunda reenacts Bernini's(?) earlier Vatican spiral ramp, the one that allowed the pope to travel on horseback to and from the Belvedre Court high up in the Papal Palace (which is now for the most part the Vatican Museum).]

So now we have Barney elaborately reenacting the raising and lowering of testicles. Given the corporal territory, Barney no doubt plays a lot with the (chronosomatically defined?) fertile imagination. Greenaway also utilizes the fertile imagination, although much more assimilatingly and metabolically. Is Barney perhaps exhibiting /manifesting a pre-natal fertile imagination? Chronosomatically, that is indeed a possibility. Given the female body and it's role in embryonic development, the present 'plane of the present' slices through a female that is approximately five months pregnant. And given that around now is when a developing fetus reverses position from head to to head down, there might just be some developing testicles within the slice of our time, and maybe that's where Barney is chronosomatically (speaking).

[latest chronosomatic note (yet to be numbered):
In terms of the present pregnancy within the female body, there may well be twins developing, one male and one female. Since the ultimate birth of the current prenancy will correspond with a "second birth" (ref. Eliade), the notion of a forthcoming male/female pair of twins (rightly?) contrasts the primordial male/male (metabolic) twins of creation myths.

A future chronosomatic note may concern itself with the Jewish psyche and it's relationship with reenactment, eg, the contemporary state of Israel. With the Holocust corresponding to the transverse colon, as do all contemporary genosidal purges, and the forthcoming end of assimilation in 2194, is today's Israel the ur-metabolic state?]

He's an architect's architect, a man's man and a woman's man too. Always in black, crisp - usually has some trolley dolly flown in for the weekend - he claims he hasn't sleep a full night of sleep since 94 and i believe him but looking at the quoff of hair always right and his fresh pair of eyes you wouldn't believe. I on the other hand look like crap a day after an all nighter...its just not fair. He reaches over takes a draw of my fad and quips.....

could you ever believe it? no oil, no cars, no caltrans. freeways are empty. reuse projects are abundant.
-so whats the story with the rug?
-see the pattern on it. it is pure art. a kilim pattern on a rug. never done before. chinese are smart they bypass everything. nothing is sacred to them. that is the work of mao. his revolution destroyed cultures. he got rid of the ornemental rug for simpler kilim it is not even wool, all syntechtic. one less ornament, makes me happy. do you need a rug?
i am thinking, this motherfucker alphie, is trying to sell me.. snake oil..he'll turn around and buy crack if i buy the shit..
-no man, thanks. did you go see cardinal mahony? he likes art. but you have to break your crack pipe in front of him.
-fuck yeah?
-fuck ya..
he starts to walk north towards the cathedral where mahony lives in the back of the gift shop. i notice he is limping a bit. great lus. he use to jail people for crown molding. look at him now. willing to throw his crack pipe to converted old hollywood freeway for a rug deal.
i keep walking towards the city hall, feeling smart about not buying into the rug story shit..
