It was lightly snowing. Gravel was covered again. The roof received a fresh coating. Her mountain of love was behind fog. The sky was nothing but white cloud. There was no orb of sun. Dark tree branches had new white shadows. Rooftops regained a snow surface. It felt more like December 1st than March 31st, after declaring spring yesterday. I’m in love with Anna in this.

I wouldn’t give Krishnamurti entire credit for my leaving the Mormon church. Gurdjieff and J. G. Bennett were culprits as well, prompted by listening to Robert Fripp’s Exposure and Let The Power Fall. My leaving was really a decision to maintain integrity, and to get away from my mother. I informed the bishop of my reasons. “These are cogent points.” He replied. Besides church attendance and my study of religion, a direct encounter with something deeper confirmed real things for me. That “contact” kept me going through the worst of years. Synchronicity guides my dreams and waking presence. Her beautiful numbers and her yellow love light keep me walking the red line. I’m deeply in love with Anna in this.

The strange truth about life on earth might never be known. Stories we heard mostly fiction. One thing for certain is my unshakable conviction that we are not alone in this dimension. Otherworldly beings exist and we are visited. Snowflakes bounced and streamed. 3 seagulls careened. No lovebirds, starlings or crows. Just more snow. The breeze blew but it wasn’t cold. I’m in love with Anna in this.

Snowflakes came down faster. Her mountain of love completely invisible. Nearby buildings merely silhouettes. Snow crackled on my love diary page, making it look like a parchment. My words were blurring up. Whiteness was all around after yesterday’s beautiful blue sky. A crow cawed 7 times. What I wanted more than ever was the hottness of her dreamy kiss. My heart’s climate loves her every weather. I’m in love with Anna in this.

3 girls from grade 5 threatened to steal my hat if I didn’t hand them 10 cents. They wanted to buy a stick of gum from their girlfriend. I gave them a penny instead. I asked a girl from grade 2 what that thing was she built. It was a large oval snowball she hid. I asked her “Is that a human brain?” She laughed. It was a seagull she rolled in a ball she explained. Her group of friends then had to tell me all the dead animals they’ve seen. Dead frogs, dead insects, dead moles and dead squirrels. The list could go on. A girl fibbed about someone she knew with 4 toes. “2 toes for each foot?” I asked. No it was 4 toes on one foot, she explained. “Then how many toes does other foot have?” 6 toes were on that foot she told me. “It sure sounds like a mishap occured when they handed out the toes.” I said. The girl said yes, with a smile. I’m in love with Anna in this.

My bulldozer tearing off loves her wrecking crane lost. My wailing throat loves her bite anxiety. My red thorn scars love her stabbing surgery. My sword fight loves her cutting gun. My bloody-nose thief loves her bandage mugger. My accidental bills love her court cases fines. My blind rat allergies love her subtracting parasites. My rotting food stain loves her aging dry rot. My dead boxer loves her incapacitating face slap. My annoying shadow function loves her malicious sarcasm. My unfortunate rape loves her crisis crutches. My helpless headache loves her breaking harm. My exhausting malfunction loves her breaking mishap. My infection stain loves her renovation blasting. I love her lunar black bible verse from my Egyptian box “As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgression from us.” Psalm 103:12. I love Anna Dirksen.

Meanwhile, I enjoyed listening to Led Zeppelin’s Presence. Robert Plant was recouperating in a wheelchair from a serious car accident when he sang “Eddie is the horny little mixed breed that got my dog Pheobe pregnant.” There are 4 puppies in a cardboard box. Ros says she’s a cat person. If a dog likes a man it means he’s sensitive, Daphne Moon said. Fraiser and Martin fight after Eddie runs away from castration surgery. Martin offers a $500 reward. Martin complains about Frasier’s psychological assessment. He hated the shrink with the nickname “The Squirrel.” Martin complains “Why does everything with you shrinks start in the crotch?” Niles gets lost in the middle of the park. He thought he saw a raccoon while hiking in an untouched piece of parkland with a new race track. Lisa complains the race track ruined the bird sanctuary. Squirrels fight, parrots talk and a chameleon lizards camoflauges himself. Bart wants race car #7 to crash. Maude Flanders is suddenly killed when T-shirt firing misses Homer’s fat tummy. She gets a 21 T-shirt salute at the funeral. Ned Flanders must work through his grief with the word ‘horny’ on his Scrabble game. He chooses not to attend church ever again but goes at the last minute and meets a female Christian rock singer. Homer makes a dating videotape for Ned but it has footage of Maggie’s birth. George Michael wants to see pictures of his cousin Maeby’s birth. She was conceived in a “$130,000 cup of soup.” Gob lets his fists do the talking.

The day’s numbers and returning to the Top Story.
