First of all she's the best looking extra on the Sopranos in reel life I've seen to date. Second of all she rides on a train sometimes. Not for nothing she also comes to the rescue like Wonder Woman if you're lucky enough to fall for her despite all the warning signs. When the train gets stuck and everyone has to wait an hour or so perhaps even in the dark she knows its going to happen in advance and advises you to follow her so as not to be late for meeting the greatest living musician and music teacher in the world since the passing of his father.

Sure enough it happens and while everyone on the train is sweating she is whipping out a giant set of keys and somehow knows which one will open the locked train double doors or just as likely maybe she is a master lock breaker or picker of locks like its easy to open sesame the double doors of major league trains.

Then the super model looking lock picker who can't believe you had the nerve to sit across from her when everyone else was intimidated also knows directions to where you're going and places on you a blessing to arrive on time and wetter than Elvin Jones following a full set after he labored to perform following the passing of John Coltrane.

Innuendo aside being soaking wet on a summer day in Brooklyn is par for the course but there wasn't enough time to buy a kurta so that plan was shot. But finding the building all right and gaining the confidence of the security guard was confidence building so I went back out for some caloric replenishment and I forget what else but it was more than enough.

Then finally when I arrived at the back to the past apartment like Grandma's in Flatbush but now I was in unknown parts much of which was note visible to the eye. The suspense built because the Maestro was showering something called for since there was no air conditioning and it was in the low nineties with humidity off the charts still it was bliss being in the akasha breathing air pirate eyes back after leaving Los Angeles for Iao did not help at all but there was enough there to afford to be there a music affair worth remembering a day to recall bacal but it was three or four or two less than six days in a row I still cannot believe he said yes and would have failed but for Jane Pasha who hypnotizes with her Mai Tai deconstructions one must sip less than a seventh of a tea spoon and then there are seven seconds of heaven disaster to gulp down the whole ice cold ancient soma horse sacrifice.

Ocean Avenue maybe but not Manhattan Beach, Brooklyn Heights or Carrol Gardens more like Ben Zen Hurts or Gilgo Cheech or the Bishop of Haleakala The Sun of Music Pandit Jasraj does not approve until the till is copped by some sleight of hand glands sands of Onyx from the Calcutta cabachon.

My Romance and My One and Only Love are both over the top of pop hard rock raga and roll rasa and pasta and pussy willows blooming in the Midnight Sun of Morrison Hotel.

Squeeze the box or tap the ivory fake chests are nowhere to be seen in the latrine of love story faked me out with a cigarette but but... but... but... but... I think it was but... but... but it was only not a reefer from the time of Billy Idol and all his Rebel Yell hellish black sabbath baths of carnelian carrot turned purple it was already purple but drained all the blood out like a leech lesbian pretender hey hey I saved the world today everybody's happy now the bad thing's gone away.

Leahcim the Cire of Nosnibor-Ihgnol facing West of Borough Park and On A Slow Boat to Laos the full moon right there in front of me but its a smooth landing into Slick's butt of nicotine who still smokes that anyway else but loose like Pale Rider beginning Hebrew school wearing a yamaka made of deer skin with all the blood drained out of the body of Lady Dracula was is truly scarier than Gard Old Guardian Angel Youngster stick to falling out of the Watch and Stock and Barrel Tower of Power Sourpuss of Cosmic Proportions.

Permission granted to exist on only the akasha O2 in her target range magnum style not sure the caliber of her mercy however untender the legal tender taken by threat of get forget about calling for help the internet has been cut off and the doors are locked you are now a freed prisoner of the hotel california if you were baited into reading this unless you have religion to spit on the whole affair was too boring to even mention except I was offered a giant bag of organic chips so what the fuck first fist fair golden lady sailor for her to see thought I saw having pancakes but enough tough ga already soon June you're busting out all over the eleven by eight what a drag it was to get old with bennies from heaven.
