APRIL 15, 2020 // ULYSSSES S. GRANT

THE SEA RANCH, CALIFORNIA

Ulysses S Grant slept in a tent. He’s been to San Francisco. Why was the civil war fought in Pennsylvania? The confederates were attacking? Donald Trump impersonation. Why do you keep looking over there? John F Kennedy and Nikita Khrushchev did a good job. Thank you. List of sex partners. Drug dealer ancestors. I’m good looking and sad and my back hurts and my wife’s hot. Stop quoting dead people! My impersonation of a Maryland person during the Pandemic crisis. A couple o’ fuckin’ beers. Evita Peron. I don’t know how to spell that. Maybe she had good intentions and then power corrupted and then they made a musical about her. Judy Garland was Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz. Harold Arlen. They treated entertainers the same way they treated children, machines, animals. Uppers and Downers. The Wire was a good TV show, especially the school parts. D’Angelo Barksdale would vote for Biden. Stringer Bell didn’t have acceptance from his father. Omar would vote Bernie. Jesus and Joseph had a father. Wade Boggs was really good if you were paying attention at the time. Everybody’s a judge. Alexander the Great had a boyfriend and slept in a tent. I won’t listen to the commander of the military now because he doesn’t sleep in a tent. Edit that, my persona doesn’t curse. Talking to a camera in an empty room. Chinese cell phones in Mexico. The experts are mad I accused the government of propaganda. I’m scared of jail for sure, and death. All the times I was a coward. The mop scene in Fantasia. Give it to the Aliens. Not everybody can be a Yogi. I don’t know what work I should do. The widest vista you can find. Exert yourself. Feel the ground beneath your feet.
