Lets put-her up-there - Miss Chicago. My Miss-Perfect. The Perfects of East Riverwide Drive. Not-there - always someplace else. "You are everywhere that I am not". The perfects stopped going to these night-time outdoor hill-side theaters two-thousand years ago. They are now institutions. I have-been institutionalized. Are you on medication ? I am stoned-out of my mind. This is some stony-stuff. Can you make love to a statue ? At some point I have to be a statue. It's called Statutory-ape. Did I ever try to fall in love with a statue ? Perhaps I did. I became a sculptor - of retorts.

Where to now-go but-back to Rome through Bolonia. I went down the center of Italian farm-land. Very beautiful country. What was I going to-do in Rome, I had at that moment no-idea. The thinking was probably, where to go for the winter. Should I ride-back to Greece ? Even Athens was cold in the winter. I got three offers. I could hitch-hike to Afghanistan with some boys and girls. I could go to Egypt with a different set of same; or I could go to Israel with two women, I came to lend money too. Recalling Istanbul, I now-know why I turned down the Arab-country treks, with a lot of hitch-hiking and riding in cars without language. And I had none of it in my blood anyway. I was of a high-north forest people. I loved the woods.

I stayed in a campsite that was in a Roman city-park, and was there not-sure two-to-four weeks. I don't like it date to date. My thing is mix and match. What good is history if-it-can never be used again ? The Greek/Roman period. The trick - to match anything of any period with any other, as everything may be applied to everything. Then even the memory lives.
