Verse 13, "Song of the Open Road"

"
Behold through you as bad as the rest.
Through the laughter, dancing, dining, supping, of people,
Inside of dresses and ornaments, inside of those wash'd and trimm'd faces
Behold a secret silent loathing and despair.

No husband, no wife, no friend, trusted to hear the confession,
Another self, a duplicate of every one, skulking and hiding it goes,
Formless and wordless through the streets of the cities, polite and bland in the parlors,
In the cars of railroads, in steamboats, in the public assembly,
Home to the houses of men and women, at the table, in the bedroom, everywhere,
Smartly attired, countenence smiling, form upright, death under the breast-bones, hell under the skull-bones,
Under the broadcloth and gloves, under the ribbons and artificial flowers,
Keeping fair with the customs, speaking not a syllable of itself,
Speaking of any thing else but never of itself.

"

THIS MAN IS BEYOND.

THE ORIGIN OF MY NICKNAME.

OK, TIME TO FESS UP. I STOLE MY NICKNAME ("LOBO") FROM THIS FILM, "DON'T TELL HER IT'S ME" (STARRING STEVE GUTENBURG AND SHELLEY LONG). MY FRIEND MIKE HAD IT ON VHS A FEW YEARS BACK.

THIS ALSO HAPPENS TO BE THE BEST MOVIE PREVIEW EVER MADE.

CONVENIENT DISPOSABLE COMMUNION SHOT GLASS WITH BUILT-IN WAFER AND WINE

RECEIVED THIS IN THE MAIL A FEW DAYS AGO.

"Communion is as simple as 1,2,3..."

The wafer is built into the top of the disposable communion shot glass! I received this as part of my order from Kingdom.com, where I've been ordering my tape manufacturing supplies.

"Never fill or wash communion cups again !"

COOLEST BOOK COVER EVER
