We were so young then back then virtual reality was still a fantasy a closet dream that had no place but in the future we used to argue on the nature of abstraction and whether dragons were concrete I was right and I was still right but I've decided to change my mind for you! and believe that concrete objects and only those that I can see in the moment that I see them The phonebook This lamp my keys as soon as I get them out of my pocket My keys I do this so I can sleep without nightmares of resentment and innocence

what I wanted to ask was whether you've ever fallen a great distance and had your fall interrupted by a patient and strong friend who catches you and spins you around and sets you gently on the ground I've thought about it a great deal and I have a terrible urge to catch you is that sick is that wrong just the thought of you falling and I imagine myself underneath waiting with open arms hiding under a tree and moments before you strike the ground I pounce and wrap my arms around your thighs and The Middle of your torso and though your weight and your momentum threaten to send us both to the ground your force and I would struggle and I would win and throw you up again

A Great Effort from one of our most Promising Young Writers!
I don’t think I understood it!
A work so great that it destroys literature as a concept, including itself!
When time machines are invented, someone will kill Hitler, others will save Jesus and Socrates and Gandhi and Lincoln and King and Kennedy maybe Lennon, and someone will prevent this book from leaving Lomax’s troubled mind!
Gripping!
Uplifting!
A tremendous introductory work!
Huge!
Monstrous!
Tremendous!There is something in this book that is and will be fundamental to Western Thought!
Future generations will curse Mr. Lomax’s name […] if they retain the ability to use and process language!
It was fine! I’ve read worse!
I don’t think I understood it!
I really didn’t understand!
Let’s go back to Canada
Let’s go back and see
the things we didn’t see
in Canada
and maybe we can talk
about the things we see

and fall for each other again
Absolutely Ambitious!
I didn’t enjoy it and I believe that it will taint my view of books in general for the remainder of my life!
A fabulous work! but nothing good will come from it!
Don’t push me.
I actually didn’t read it, but my opinion is still valid!
Can I talk to you?
Ha ha you took my nose
that’s really cute
Can I talk to you?
Can I be serious with you
for the first time in our lives?
Can I talk to you
about my feelings?
Can I open
my heart
like a book
that no one’s ever read?
all it says is
I FIND YOU VERY ATTRACTIVE

I'm sorry I didn't mean it So am I and you did

A ten-year-old girl's pet cat met its end today
Soapsuds, a nine-year-old tabby was found lifeless in the First Unilateral Church parking lot late last night The details of Soapsuds' death are currently unknown but from the appearance investigators believe that the cat's death was related to an act of vandalism gone wrong
I met you once
when we were young
before we knew our names
I told you once
that we were young
and you told me the same
we didn’t have that much to say
and this much hasn't changed
I'm still afraid to raise my voice
and you've become deranged
I am the only man who has ever been alone. This gives me comfort in my heart and in my hipbone. Because I'm so self-made and so hand-sewn, I trembled when I heard a slide trombone. I tremble when I hear the telephone I tremble when I am not my own

On the Greyhound bus from South Carolina I sat next to an older woman in a purple dress and there I fell asleep she blew in my ear and grabbed my thigh and whispered to me in cigarette breath

no one ever pays attention to me
it is because I speak softly
but I have to speak softly
because I hate the sound of my own voice
I am not ashamed
I am not afraid
I am not ineffectual
I am nothing
but compassionate

Take me back the years and sing a song that reverts me to a child! Teach me the value of sharing! Show me the value of a dollar! Dress me like an Action Figure! Everything I really needed to know I want to learn in Kindergarten!
I should probably tell you
Actually maybe I won’t
I mean it’s not something
I’ve ever done
Actually I think it’s why I’m so nice
I’m nice right
I try really hard to be
Nice I mean
It’s a secret
You've done well to get this far but there's one thing you didn't count on Remember that milkshake we gave you yesterday with the mint and the chocolate proportioned just the way you like it Would You Like Another? You cannot resist can you: Norton! The milkshake! As you continue to sip this delicate blend of the finest Paraguayan mint leaves blended with the most pungent chocolate Europe and Brazil have to offer all blended with sweet Jersey milk from heartland Wisconsin and a delicate blend of medicinal herbs that encourage a more than virile sense of well-being you will fail to notice the ticking of the timebomb at your feet and you will only notice the explosion after it's too late
and you are not paying enough attention to me now
to know that you need to cut the red wire
always the red never the black
I'm telling you all this to increase the irony of your predicament as you manage to forget the information most vital to you in this precarious situation as you meet your end and leave us free to abuse your loved ones in ways too gruesome to repeat but rather fun to actually perform if I do say so myself but more on that later
sometimes the black, occasionally the red
For now Enjoy your milkshake.

THAT I THINK YOU ARE REAL PRETTY
YOU ARE REAL PRETTY HAVE A GOOD DAY
:) :) :) :) :) :) :) :_) "_Our production is superior to the one in London because we have a real statue they could not afford a statue in London because England is still in the old money whereas we are in the Nouveau Money and can thus afford pretty cars and houses and luxury items but the point is that the statue is central to the plot of the story in fact the statue is the plot of the story in fact the statue is the play not being able to afford the statue is like not being able to afford actors but I hear that in their production it is difficult to tell the difference
Get it? It was a joke The joke was that the man was arrogant I was joking the man wasn't really arrogant There's actually quite a bit of doubt that the man existed in the first place It's just a joke It's not funny but it's a joke It's just a joke you see

In the beginning of each episode of the Twilight Zone I entered a dimension not of sight, but of mind the man in the suit (Rod Serling) told me so and I could tell because there are no spirals in my usual dimension Occasionally there is irony
