/&gt;and how many alive,&lt;br /&gt;who did survive&lt;br /&gt;the party of Death...&lt;br /&gt;AIDS.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The event evolved to a fundraiser&lt;br /&gt;for the victims of an unknown,&lt;br /&gt;a curse, perhaps revenge...&lt;br /&gt;"Queers can't love naturally,"&lt;br /&gt;claimed a certain preacher&lt;br /&gt;who bungholed a whore&lt;br /&gt;and paid cash&lt;br /&gt;from the collection plate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"What's it all about...Baarrry,&lt;br /&gt;are you sorry you were a Sorieto,&lt;br /&gt;did you never love Granny Dunham,&lt;br /&gt;tough having white parents,"&lt;br /&gt;growled the madone&lt;br /&gt;sipping a cold pint&lt;br /&gt;at two o'clock&lt;br /&gt;in the balcony breeze.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Pretenders in Paradise....."&lt;br /&gt;mulled the oldman thinking&lt;br /&gt;about the visitors drinking&lt;br /&gt;and laughing across the street&lt;br /&gt;with seasonal owners.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The gardener stopped for a spell,&lt;br /&gt;before taking a rideabout,&lt;br /&gt;smoking a butt, sipping a pint,&lt;br /&gt;then off with his camera...&lt;br /&gt;"But, they're all old and ugly,"&lt;br /&gt;those who

day,&lt;br /&gt;trapped behind the machine of gloom and doom,&lt;br /&gt;locked inside a devaluating room,&lt;br /&gt;sick and tired of being retired&lt;br /&gt;from living....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"So the fuck what, it's all bullshit, Doctor..&lt;br /&gt;and the 'it' is government shit, funny how the problems&lt;br /&gt;all began with one man and the WTC and WMD,&lt;br /&gt;this savage little prick then brought Homeland&lt;br /&gt; and Blackwater for protection for Halliburton,&lt;br /&gt;oh yes..privatization of government for profit,"&lt;br /&gt;the oldman was getting heart

console&lt;br /&gt;and two new mice, double sided action&lt;br /&gt;to understand the duplicity of government.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hard to imagine a blueblood Walker boy,&lt;br /&gt;scion of Wall Street bankers and supporters&lt;br /&gt;of the Hitler regime and Horace Schacht&lt;br /&gt;could look like a redneck niggerkiller.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Hey, hey, oldman walking...&lt;br /&gt;hard to imagine Hippies back in the White House,&lt;br /&gt;....or will it be the Black House,"&lt;br /&gt;laughs the madone walking to the balcony,&lt;br /&gt;filling the bowls on the scaffolding,&lt;br /&gt;for six cats and twenty doves,&lt;br /&gt;feeding the carekillers meals&lt;br /&gt;to sixteen chickens in the garden below.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The oldman was in regression again,&lt;br /&gt;after a month of being homebound from paralysis&lt;br /&gt;he began walking, first a block, then increasing&lt;br /&gt;to twenty five and almost a heart attack.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Then you fucking near cut your arm off, asshole,&lt;br /&gt;redesigning the flat with a northwest galley,"&lt;br /&gt;second floor chores done, the madone sat down&lt;br /&gt;beside the oldcat eating caviar and sipping milk.&lt;br /&gt;He often wondered about things like that&lt;br /&gt;on a fifty dollar a week budget.&lt;br /&gt;The oldman seemed to have a way with money...&lt;br /&gt;or a way without 'it', that mysterious it again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"A fool in power who believes his words..."&lt;br /&gt;the doctor had returned from his studies,&lt;br /&gt;soothing the balcony plants with love&lt;br /&gt;talking in plant tongue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Only these Americans believe thier own propoganda,&lt;br /&gt;trust advertising, and have faith in thier dollar,"&lt;br /&gt;shaking his head and watching a springbreak bum&lt;br /&gt;on a passing bicycle, the joy of youth,&lt;br /&gt;without a cellphone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Against the ruination of mankind there is&lt;br /&gt;but one defense," pausing to perform&lt;br /&gt;to the passing Conchtrain, the sun shining,&lt;br /&gt;god's spotlight on the good Doctor Coy,&lt;br /&gt;"The creative act."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The oldman smiled in amusement at the ripoff,&lt;br /&gt;forty years ago in the hills beyond MillValley,&lt;br /&gt;the cliffs above the Golden Gate,&lt;br /&gt;in the valleys of the Redwoods&lt;br /&gt;before hippies and peaceniks,&lt;br /&gt;lived the Beatnicks....&lt;br /&gt;The oldman and Roy Coy&lt;br /&gt;also went to Berkeley to chase pussy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Dream on, oldman....&lt;br /&gt;its closer to fifty years," offers the madone,&lt;br /&gt;sending the oldfart on a walkabout&lt;br /&gt;for a cold pint before noon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Time was closing it's channel on the oldman,&lt;br /&gt;the joy of watching and walking&lt;br /&gt;a battle with degenerative disease&lt;br /&gt;and an unrefined diet.&lt;br /&gt;Independence and freedom, a choice of time,&lt;br /&gt;the very essence of spirit,&lt;br /&gt;shackled by carekillers and takeover artists,&lt;br /&gt;vultures preying upon the weak,&lt;br /&gt;picking raw the love of life,&lt;br /&gt;taking the Love Lane mailbox,&lt;br /&gt;stomping the lovevine,&lt;br /&gt;poisoning little chickees.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"So what is the solution, Doctor...&lt;br /&gt;surrender to the banksters and corporapists.."&lt;br /&gt;offers the madone as the skies turn blue&lt;br /&gt;and a salt breeze clears the air,&lt;br /&gt;placing plates on the balcony table,&lt;br /&gt;fresh roses in the vases,&lt;br /&gt;homemade bread with fresh hair.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lunch at noon...&lt;br /&gt;blue skies and beautiful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The oldman was starting to crank it up&lt;br /&gt;with rhyme and free time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A joint and a cold pint.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"All is not right," claim the commenters&lt;br /&gt;not the commentors who proclaim&lt;br /&gt;the spirit of advertising with&lt;br /&gt;spin in the wind from the gas&lt;br /&gt;passed from the ass in the White House&lt;br /&gt;who has mortgaged 'it' to the most.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Think about that, Asshole....&lt;br /&gt;walking debt with hidden assets&lt;br /&gt;illegally unreported, not fake opaque&lt;br /&gt;transparently recorded and reported."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The voice from the hallway.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All part of a very mysterious will,&lt;br /&gt;an option on an estate, half interest&lt;br /&gt;in a broken dream....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The sad case that never closes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Until the chickees leave home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't eat hairbread.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today is almost balanced in orbit&lt;br

behind&lt;br /&gt;the talking tits and shiney heads.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The demented producers packaging these urgencies,&lt;br /&gt;first news first, new poles report, from the scene...&lt;br

one&lt;br /&gt;in the globalized dumbthink of advertising,"&lt;br /&gt;growls the madone pissed with it all,&lt;br /&gt;that fucking mysterious conspiracy of 'it'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The oldman had been sick for two weeks&lt;br /&gt;slowly regaining his legs before they shriveled&lt;br /&gt;and withered away, he was down to jockey weight&lt;br /&gt;but couldn't ride a horse...he shuffled about&lt;br /&gt;watering plants on the balcony&lt;br /&gt;and tourists on the sidewalk.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The oldindianwoman and her dog had returned&lt;br /&gt;abandoned by billybratbrown, the

for bad habits and past whores,"&lt;br /&gt;leaving some grouper for the oldwoman,&lt;br /&gt;they had sailed in the seventies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A splendid day in paradise, lovely breeze&lt;br
