runners in there positions, on your mark…get set…. (Gun shot like with horses, or a whistle or whatever)…and GO! GO! GO!
You never stop do you?
Since we grasped the sense of direction that has been taught to us, it’s been go go go…don’t stop and smell the roses (that’s a little too optimistic for our days), don’t sniff the coke as you are on your way (a bit decadent) so what am I supposed to do?
I said: Go! Go! GO! Who told you to stop???
There is NO ROOM for the walkers’ man you better go!
But go where? It’s all been done, man, its all been done…Where is the Original idea? Where is the brain, the voice, the rise and shine sparkling brand new Einstein, that will redeem and teach and awe us with his magical, supernatural, gray matter power? YOU speak, and what you are saying is leaking from all the information you’ve received, all the things you’ve heard before. That is why I want silence…so much silence that I will run away from sound and people, and all the energy that speaks. That is why I don’t want a far away voice, repeating sounds that I have already learned; maybe if I retreat into myself, I will hear new things. What are you thinking? what ARe you thinking? WHY ARE YOU THINKING? This is the go generation, chick, not the beat generation, although, we ARE very much beat.
