* July 8, 1988. Friday @ 1:00 AM or so
having a night cap at Paul’s on 11th street
saw sandra bernhard at the orpheum; ‘without you i’m nothing’
frankenstein is on the TV above the bar
he just carried the little girl into the lake. you don’t see him drown her, but you
know that’s what happens
‘are you lonesome tonight’ is playing on the juke box
the screen just went fuzz. my mind is fuzz. lately i’ve just wanted to sleep and hide
from everything. i need to clear my head and focus my energy. it’s dispersing into
nothingness
now frankenstein is in the windmill and michael jackson is singing ‘the way you
make me feel’
two guys at the end of the bar; a big guy smoking mores and a regular guy who
hasn’t gotten more than an ‘uh-huh’ in in the last hour.
the regular guy just ordered another vodka and cranberry juice. he’s had a lot
already
now the windmill is burning
