ACT 3 SEARCH & RESCU OPERATION

tell me Jayson Blare, u impostor, where is he hiding (thin mad barely containing his rage). jayson, we know that u have been cavorting with Magnus. u have been seen, that u r fostering him in yr home. there are allegations of a secret trap door leading to a furnished basement, where magnus sleeps. and u pass him his food- tuna steaks, whatever, thru the shaft. i command U NOW JAYSON BLARE_ OPEN THE SHAFT. EXPOSE MAGNUS> WHILE U CAN STILL DO SO OF YOUR OWN FREE WILL BECAUSE THERE ARE CONSEQUENCES TO NOT COOPERATING

jayson blare- i cannot do what u wish thin man i am incapable because i would rather die than expose a true friend. magnus is what is called a friend to me, which i don't think u ever know because all u have is "pets"

thin man- then we will tear this place apart in a search and rescue operation and if u are caught red handed, so to speak, harboring the fugitive then u will be sentenced to utmost death

END ACT #

what is yr domain name?

PT II out on the street
my only advice for u, dear boy, is to engage the racist dialectic of history. that is where ur parents are.

entreaties to failure

upcoming quiz

the thin man sat stroking his pet, Magnus

i don't mean to be brutish, magnus. i don't mean to offend, but really magnus, stop doing that thing with grinding yr teeth. it is, u chew like a cow magnus. i am frank- u chew like a cow. u r where we draw the line between man and cow. subspecies hybrid.

magnus, obviously offended- how long have we been together thin man? this is approaching 12 years, and miraculous only since the last 2 days do u condemn my chewing. what i don't eat in the past 11 years 11 months? like i was on a juice diet? u think my teeth have grown too large for my jaws? my inseams gargantuan? in fact, thin man, i have given up being yr pet. i resolve to leave this shit-hovel. look at the shower curtain. there is a capital of filth, ooze. i am taking my aloe plant with me. u keep the tortoise.

thin man- magnus don't! im sorry. im just in a bad mood. i had a really really bad day at work is all.

u treat me like shit, and i am fed up thin man, THING MAN

good 'ole Wladimir, the life insurance salesman, interceded in the argument
- magnus, come on, where will u go? u have no family but thin man. there aren't options.

MAGNUS- anything is better. the street is better than daily harassment. the subjection to torturous critique. every this and that is wrong. i am, after all, somebodies child, and more than a pet. i will find my true parents.

CURTAIN END OF ACT !

i recently got in the mail a promo copy of the new bio (soon to be made into a feature length) "the swan song of Florence Henderson" about what was really going on beneath the veneer of the Brady Brunch all American charade. I'm only about 20 pages through but it is titillating. it is basically a 3 part narrative.Incest/intravenous drug/sodomy. One thing that i think not too many people know is that Dustin Hoffman was first scheduled to star as Mathew Brady, but had to pull out in order to complete "The Graduate." i give this book so far 3 stars. what could be better is that they could add some more stuff about Patricia Brady and the whole Zoroastrian thing.

did u see yoko ono on a scooter, stalking down Lafayette?

doppel- ganger effect

The Bowery

The obliqueness. The man with the pencil thin mustache who has been tracking me.

First instance- in the Argentinean meat house- chomping on a blood sausage

Zwei- At the concert, peering from the balcony

3- in the Puma store

His mustache is slender and his build is slenderer.

His gait is terrifying.

“Stop haunting me”

“Whatever do u mean?”

“Which I know on numerous occasion is what you do. Because I have seen you most recently in the Puma store, and there are others, spots where I encountered you. Because I think u know that I see u. And this is the desired effect- terror.”

“Friend, u r delusional”

“You are waiflike. You are a waiflike fucker. Do not follow me”

Which one wishes would be resolution, but there is a final encounter in Whole Foods on the Bowery, with all the brutish history of that street and its current incarnation as Yoga capital of the world

doppelganger

the man with the pencil thin mustache- scarf blood sausage at the restaurant on Bowery. why do i see him everywhere?

when Count X initially tapped me I was enraged. Who the hell was he to abduct my family? To hold my loved ones at his mercy. But then I realized the futility of resistance and gave myself over to the Task
