You, insecurity, you, ego, you, sexuality…you will not succeed. I have stories to tell, not syndromes to whine about. You will not succeed.
You may stand between me and my art and pick your nose and make candles out of your ear wax and blow spit bubbles – but I will not be embarrassed by your orifice exploration.
I will knock you over and my art and I will crash into one another “like a couple of taxis on Broadway,” a line which Thelma Ritter so simply delivers in Rear Window. You’re not even what you seem. You’re Satan wearing a sandwich sign, shaking your ass on the sidewalk, trying to get me to buy your bullshit. Not happening, hot stuff.
And I won’t be conned into becoming a critic instead of an artist. One requires observation, the other vulnerability. I know which one is worth it. Fuck off, flamer. It’s going to take more than a lack of money, lack of talent and lack of direction – start locating some more lack ofs.
Now I’m going to clean the apartment. If you think you’ve distracted me, devil’s cake, than you’re dumber than I thought. I just want to clean the apartment.

tis nice to hear from you once again, old friend.
is it possible to mail the fruit to you?
You go! The world has enough critics. Keep fighting for the art, but do watch out for that devil cake. It’s the femme fatale, and she gets her man almost every time.
Thelma Ritter – related to John by any chance?
We go to the zoo of our personal demons, personify these forces, climb into the pen with them and attempt conversation. Yet they never seem to respond favorably. Perhaps some tea next time.
