words 4 2 day




Thurs 6/8


Went into town and bought a breakfast sandwich and deleted photos from my phone. Bought Tide and put in a wash.  


Flowers on the hillside blooming crazy

Crickets talking back and forth in rhyme

Blue river running slow and lazy

I could stay with you forever and never realize the time


- Bobby Zimmerman Dillleeeano


Asa sent me the first act of his show about Elaines.  It’s good. Such an exciting story, right up my alley - late 70s city hot spot with writers, beautiful women and movie stars, all kinds of eccentrics burning up the time. Yum is da word. I hope he gets it mounted.


It’s hard not to feel a little privileged here sitting at the table looking at the waves rolling in like it's a beautiful assembly line - when more common folk walk back and forth on the boardwalk to get a look at the eternal performance.  But I take it in with sensory gratitude. 


Finished the first act of the play. Wrote Asa a letter of encouragement and was straight with my thoughts.  


Set up the guest rooms with fresh sheets and things.  Maybe go into town for a slice of pizza and buy ingredients for potato salad tomorrow.  A good day, nothing much, but everything here contains a muchness I don’t have at home.

  My old apartment is completely empty ex for an almost empty bottle of Windex. It’s been less than a week since I left it and now it’s unlocked. I like to go down and visit.  There’s something strange and special about an empty apartment. Besides the echo - it evokes a number of things for me. The past, the future, quietude, melancholy, loss, Last Tango in Paris - where Brando and the young French sexpot both check out a beautiful empty apartment and I think Brando rents it and they meet there and have wild sex and he makes her promise to never say or tell him her name and vice versa and it's such a wild fantasy, two nameless people flooring it again and again for good or bad underneath a night skyway in the City of Lights.

  Have been indulging in all things mid century Roman lately - reading about the beginnings of neo-realism, Pucci fashion papparazzi. Watched A Special Day last night on Youtube - a very special movie. Sophia and Marcello are skyrocket superb. The script is, too. At one point while she’s making coffee, prettying up for him in front of the bathroom mirror and dealing with an old nosey neighbor - he looks at an album of Mussolini fotos he assumes is one of her six childrens. It's hers - a scrapbook of her savior and sex symbol. Brilliant.   Watch a ’77 Cavett interview with SL and MM on the Tube. It affirms you don’t have to be skinny and blond and twenty to emit  heart stopping sex appeal.
