"a human eye, succulent in my mouth"


april 7

Les Baby Killer went off on les bus to prison very early this morning.

Jeezy came to me in a headache cloud and say lacka patience is MY fault. You live wrongfully  and stressfully blaming eels.

I think I once sought to write something loserish behind the picture frame in a Vancouver hotel room, but instead I knocked the picture off the wall. Broken glass under mattress.Spying, worried maids.

Consider the shock of jail on blank/black TV screen (as in) a sudden reflection informs you LIKE NEW that's where you are...

Not always as graceful as I could be before a firing squad. Gonna walk slick down the street with a human EYE succulent in my mouth. It'll be a secret RELIGIOUS thing. Pencil that in for August.

It seemed terribly like I never slept last night. Hideous gust raging from a vent, yet I dreamed of a suit of armor as if I'd invented it. At first I didn't think of joints at the knees.You should have seen THAT shiny creature clanking uncomfortably down les boulevard. This dream occured in les walkin mall du pavilions in downtown Denver.

Anyone following les local crime scene recall a few months ago when an inmate got hold of a gun in the Adams County Jail courtvan? Shot all les bullets and slightly wounded a couple inmates? Remember? Well, last night as I was walking in les yard I saw THAT GUY'S eyes looking out at me from his window in "les hole". By the same token Adams County did Boulder the favor of holding TRAVIS CROUCH, rapist extraordinaire, last year. More and more when considering, "what will they do with les Ramseys" my mind travels down the backcountry lanes between this jail and the Adams County Jail. It's logical and there's experience.

Channel 7 was here today...as yet I don't know why.

Some nut came to my door (he did A LOT of time in Special Management with Vennie Thompson) wanting to borrow "Perfect Murder,Perfect Town". Like a REAL asshole, I said, "request denied". He locked me in my room.

You won't believe how good the mountains look after the dawn commissary day wakeup, even if ALL and sundry looks FAKE, even the eeky squeaky bikerider huffing and puffing up Airport Road.

Les Nazi moved to Deputy Stamie's rehab pod, thank God.

Deputy Starr says we have une tour group coming through, so "act normal". She said that to EVERYBODY.

Yesterday in Ottawa a "chronic mental patient" by les nom du PIERRE LEBRUN killed four co workers at Ottawa's main bus garage. I couldn't help thinking that perhaps he spoke French. He shot himself, too.
