Her Green Marriage, Her Dream Image, Her Traveling Performance.

Man And His World, Expo ‘67     8:23 pm

It was dark and the clouds were low. The wind was blowing in every direction, making me shiver a little. It was cool, and the air was soft and damp. The sunlight was hidden under overcast cloud. There was a birdcall I recognized, sounding quite like a flute. It was a larger and much older bird –with a depth and a richness to its voice. The lovebirds were at it again. Their short bursts of talking appeared to arise from more than one place. It seemed to travel, as those birds desire to do. An icy airplane traveled making the sound of a hollow tube. It rumbled and roared in the distance, until it faded. A seagull sounded.

I was filled with a sense of richness, from the textures of sight and sound. Trees swayed stiffly, others harnessed the blows from the wind. Two pigeons careened and dove expertly like muscular. My vision was focussed awareness. The birds were quite active and at once there was a choir. I felt the building wobble. I returned to my apartment and at that moment, at 11:12, my love showed me relating and betwixt.

together25.jpgI love her consummate swimming. I love her body sculpture so healthy. I love her painterly photographs, her travelling dreamwork. And I love the letter, the loaf of bread, the book and the baby, to consummate our marriage ceremony, green. I love her inward harvest, her fulfilling experience. I love her making plans to weave the marriage ceremony with dreamwork. I love her healthy body, her house complete with actress, actor and baby. Manifesting the ripeness attained in the sun and green image, with fall harvests of writing books. I love her natural performance, her traveling breakthrough, her green hammer.

together25.jpgI love her harvest substantial, her bottle of wine and her meal, while swimming with our boat built for baby. Carrying commitments and plans with communication is a task but our heart’s projects are paintings and pearls in the weaving sun. Her harvest inspires my making real. I love her complete essence. I love her necklaces and her dresses. I love her construction test. I love her authentic awards. I love Anna Dirksen.

Downtown Soulmates 10:54 pm

I listened intently and concentrated as Misty Blunt told me to turn left on to West 40th Street, take the Lincoln tunnel and merge onto the I-495 West, and then take the Raatz  exit toward Hoboken, and so forth. I took her for a thoughtful rat of blank diary page or the first edition of “Spy in the House of Love.”

When she finished up, I said sadly, “I should have met Elvis for lunch.”

“I wish I never met him,” she said. Then she added, “Ever.”

She glanced at the clock, suddenly very testy and shitty.

I tried hard not to laugh. I stepped back and scurried away. I figured it was bad vibes or déjà vu. I got the wrong impression on Misty Blunt. Her idea of a nightmare almost certainly was an intimate diary or Nin classic. Too bad.

It took ages to find my car in the garage, and while I was having trouble starting it, I wiped the bird shit off the windshield. Then I wished I was heading for Graceland.

All of this crap called to mind some instructions in my Rabbit manual explaining:

“Whenever checking for the root cause of a generator failure, one of the first things that a technician should do is to sniff the generator. If it smells like a dead rat, trying to charge or discharge a defective battery has overheated the stator windings. Sniff the generator. Otherwise I pity the fool. If you still can’t start after a replacement, you’d better hitch a ride.”

And so it seemed I had little choice but to take a sniff at Crummy Nixon’s defective generator.

Bewildered by Misty Blunt’s directions and the roadblock at Brenda Six Killer, I finally came to Symbiotics Lab like a fish on dry land. The place was right next to the Sinatra Museum, I wished it were Graceland instead. The original lot was once the home for cloned Rat Sinatra.

My traveling excursion meandered through a new neighborhood of ratstones and rat-houses: new construction and new development. Most of the factory and elevator buildings were converted to  squealer luxury: 25th Century squalor. I noticed row-houses, styled condominiums, limestone mansions turning to crud, a great investment for rat condo conversion. Hoboken was a mild, fine, and congenial place. Even more impressive, it was like a rat magnet. I saw rats everywhere, driving their cars, going to work, and taking home groceries. The whole rodent community was thriving. Like a cure was found for cloning, or the environment regained its green at last. The fully occupied, magnificent brick buildings glistened with rats. Freshly planted trash reached to the sky. And everyone was there. The place was packed. I loved seeing the rats safe and preening. ‘For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his Pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me: he shall set me up upon a rock –Psalm 27:5’.

The small plaque read Symbiotics Lab, and above, was the big sign: Symbiotics Rat Nursery. There wasn’t any wrought-iron fence at all, no embellished gate to lock or open. No security guard either, standing resolutely, hands clasping his belt.

I drove quickly past. No plain picket or chain link fence, but an undefined opening to the Nixon strain. Taking the back lane, I scurried through a blind alley. Hardly any green space. No flower bed. No lawn sprinkler system. No potting shed. A surprisingly small car lot, poorly paved, an eyesore. Rats must fight for a parking space. I didn’t see a soul: No slim rat in white lab coat with a stethoscope around his neck. In his right hand could be a rattus norvegicus, in his left, its sleepy clone.

Meanwhile, Frasier wants to take Martin on a vacation trip. Martin wants to travel by Winnebago on the road across America to see Mount Rushmore. Daphne and Niles go too along with Eddy. Martin is afraid of getting lost while Frasier says, “the adventure is in the journey.” They cross the Canadian border but Daphne doesn’t have her green card. Martin distracts the border officer with no rabies certificate for Eddy the dog but Lenny bit Homer, and Lisa is protesting tThe Slaughterhouse restaurant. Homer eats 16 pounds of “indomitable tenderloin” to compete with a trucker that dies from his meal. Homer travels the country in the trucker’s rig on the road across America with Bart to Atlanta as tribute to the dead trucker. Marge buys an unstoppable musical doorbell. Homer and Bart are attacked by rival truckers, “Why do all my trips end like this?” Homer breaks the autopilot and delivers the goods.

 

On CBC News at Six, Michel Godbout wore a black jacket a light blue shirt and a grey tie. The first story was on Ste-Justine Hospital doing damage control for a problem that had been there for years. Radio-Canada spoke to 3 families who didn’t know that bacteria killed their baby at the neo-natal unit in Ste-Justine. The government and the hospital insist the hospital is now completely safe as reported by Cheryl Rosebush in an orange top. The full story is on Zone Libre on Radio-Canada tonight at 9 pm. Jean Lafleur from the Sponsorship scandal pleaded guilty to 28 counts of fraud, and 7 charges were dropped, and the environment minister John Baird sold his plan for cutting greenhouse gases. David Suzuki confronted him. “It’s all smoke and mirrors…really shameful.” The opposition condemns the plan but with no stomach to force an election, as reported by Margo McDiarmid in a black coat with yellow scarf, followed by a man was refused bail for his firebombing of Jewish institutions. Prison Beating Charges for the teen who attacked Desire Munyaneza, and Bail for 14-Year Old, charged with manslaughter for killing a schoolmate, leading to an Expo 67 Souvenir and a look at the biosphere where there’s a large scale photographic exhibit to honour the 40th anniversary. Geeta Nadkarni in a black coat with a vivid and thick yellow and green scarf gave the weather preview, and PJ Stock previewed Stock Talk and then to the break. Upon returning an Expo 67 Souvenir, “It was all so mind boggling… too much to take in.”

 

Amanda Pfeffer in black and live at the former US pavilion spoke on the impact of Expo 67 that launched a life of romance amid “architecture like I’ve never seen before”. Heads of state, the Queen and American royalty came to visit “a place to learn and get inspired”. “The Most successful world’s fair in the 20th Century” and 40 years later Michel asked if there were security concerns back then. Amanda Pfeffer mentioned political breaches and incidents from separatist groups. And then to Your Money with Jeannie Lee in a grey jacket with the Bank of Montreal down $450 million on gas, and $14.5 billion was lost on gambling last year. A record year for the housing market, and 10 million Canadians still have to file their taxes, followed by the day’s numbers to downtown with soulmates and the break. Upon returning the day’s top stories: Ste-Justine, Prison Beating Charges and Lafleur Guilty Plea to the weather with Geeta this time holding a red umbrella. “At least it’s not cold” No dramatic changes before Tuesday. “A good weekend for taxes”. And more Expo memories with Michel talking to the former head of public relations for Expo 67, Yves Jasmin. “It was a marriage of reason, it was a marriage of love.” And “It took Quebec out of its provincialism” leading to inside the biosphere and the break. Upon returning, Our World and Saudi Arabia, where 172 people were arrested in a suspected mass terror plot, and more scrutiny over the Canadian government’s handling of Afghan prisoners with “so many conflicting stories, none of them can be believed.”

 

Stockwell Day explained that correction officials are actually monitoring detainees, but still was vague. The question was asked, “What are they actually monitoring?” Critics are skeptical after the confusion, with the defense minister saying they had an arrangement with the Afghan government, but Harper saying it’s not ready. More calls for O’Connor to resign, as reported by Julie Van Dusen in a black coat with blue scarf. And then to conductor and master cellist Mstislav Rostropovich dead at age 80, a musical prodigy born of musicians. He wanted to speak freely in defense of other soviet dissent artists but was stripped of his citizenship, and went into self-imposed exile. When politics changed, he was given back his citizenship, as reported by Nick Spicer and then to the break. Upon returning, Expo 67 Souvenirs and Marianna Simeone live at the biosphere, in a black coat and orange blouse with Diana Nicholson who had the job to sell the idea to skeptical Canadians. The Expo opening was an extraordinary success, she said. The turnstiles couldn’t open fast enough, and at the end, “the incredible feeling of sadness.” Live at the biosphere, Diana Nicholson felt very nostalgic, “It brings back so many memories.” Michel reminds viewers they can log on to the website www.cbc.ca/montreal and click the feature for Expo 67. And then to Stock Talk with PJ Stock in a black jacket with grey and white shirt and talk on what the Canadiens should do with Alex Kovalev and the game between San Jose and Detroit and how the Ottawa Senators are as a team. A winner for the sports bag and Geeta gave the final weather wrap. The rainy weekend will be good for “Cuddling, contemplation and Chai.” The Canucks verses Anaheim and Michel signed off for the night.

 

And I’m Frank Remus in Montreal for this Krimson News diary-blog of loving and dreaming and brief CBC News at Six re-reportage of accomplishment, attainment, authenticity, autonomy, awarding breakthrough, building, caring, carrying out, commitments, completion, consummation, definite, determining, earning, essence, executing experience, finishing, fulfillment, harvest, inwardness, making, manifesting, naturalness, performance, plans, possibility, potentials, realizing, ripeness, satisfaction, substantial, tangible and to make real.
