Full On. I ask if we can sit down and chat for a minute, but time is already short and to the next club we go. Sniff, drink and fuck. I look around and punch the air defiantly. On the dried wooden bench I wait for a 393 bus, looking at all the fresh faced youth of the world and saving my kiss for the last daisy of the season. Vigo, Renoir, Truffaut and Wenders. Forgive all, forget. To his black, be white.
All Night. On the issue of realism: the television critic says "I like a film that pushes me around". Why do adults treat cinema the way a child treats television? Pray for me, for my soul which could leave me and fly anyway at any second. I'm hanging on by a thread. This mad youth playing right into to the hands of the martyrs! For Gods sake think about the children! Odd taste, forearm blessed, the girls on the balcony crying and the father just trying to make a show of it. I pity the fool. The daughter, oral sex, interior trauma, bad hairstyles and a deceptive work ethic. It ends badly, with no future... yet still I make an effort to talk through my sneer.
Come On. coffee at the kafenio. scoring. selling. bouzouki music. dancing. speed. back rooms. beats. any old laneway. tripping. ripped. pissed. loaded. amyl. semen. nicotine. sweat....down payment on the house....under the bridge I wept....she had left me a postcard...but I didn't even care...(yes, but an alternative isn't always better than the accepted)....through a lens and at a distance.....drink bourbon read Nabokov....just a glint in his eye....the eventual salvation of the children of paradise....as much as I'd like to accept your proposal, I would rather be blindly loved....can condone anything, she was stuck in the transition, ended up looking like Zorba the Greek....hangover at the beach, it's a Fellini kinda universe....Jumping in front of moving cars is interesting to watch, but driving in them is even more fulfilling...You people, you throw it all away...
