"my shortcomings as a friend"


april 28


Another commissary gettin Wednsday. A brand new $7 discrepancy. I'm STILL waiting for those that run it to GET les system right.

AL LAUGHLIN, formerly of the samples, latterly of TREPANATION, and lately of cell number 29, got taken to PRISON this  morning. He handed me back the book I'd loaned him - totally destroyed. Gave me A Boston adress. So, I'll be withdrawing back into my room moore. Everyone interesting to talk to zips thru here FAST.

Had a visit tonight with Micki McDonald who believes that art can heal. I am to understand YOU can hear me youthfully talking to her by clicking something on the April 12th letter. A recording I made at a San Antonio mortuary.See, I was ALWAYS this way for that tape is about 14 years old. Watch me pick up corpse abuse charges in TEXAS now.

The stifling atmosphere here seems less like a spacecraft and more like a grimy old bus. I dreamed I was endlessly on a bus this morning. There's thunder so loud tonight you can hear it in here.

There nothing to read in the prison processing place where AL went. I'm sending him a ton of today's dull newpaper. I can do stuff like THAT - my shortcomings as a friend are ROOTED in my look of exhaustion, ...and how THAT is perceived.

Wrote the ALBANY paper tonight asking how much it is for a month. t appears the wind blows that way - just below Montreal.
