Considering my heightened interest level in nearly all things this world has to offer at the moment, and thus susceptibility to distraction, allow me to set a short-term agenda for this evening’s CrONCr interaction:
- cop crop, double duty, the focus group’s market research results
- sitings: pro consumption disords
- novelty act, react, & re-creact
- simple & soulful singley, call census population
- ad.apt and malad.apt, experimenting to get the meds right, HTML of the deranged
- lyrical lysurgy: i could be wrong; knives out
+ further sanitizing of keywords
+10, M, I walked and he drove; we met.
Where we met—not where we’d arranged; I lagged—turned out to be between the court building and the jail. Packaging: Chase envelope. Stage directions have us walking and chatting a length:
“Marlboro Lights, [customer’s name]?”
“You don’t want one, do you?”
“They too light.”
“That’s funny because, for me, Newports are too light. The menthol, like, cools the smoke.”
“It’s the nicotine taste,” he said.
Along the lines, I was stopped by my older African American couple’s place. We get to cooking and in from the other room comes a cousin. “Oh, let me get my glass,” he says. The woman begins to introduce us and I cut in, “Oh, we go way back.” He plays along. I love it. He’s funny. He did that classic Black-stand-up-comic-immitating-a-White-guy voice (ref. Eddie Murphy if a refresher is needed), talking about “soady pop” and whatnot. I got a kick out of it. I like a little good natured racial ribbing as a sort of acknowledgement of our shit and as tension relief or preemption. I do it when I think my companions will get it and not jerk their knees in offensive. Anyway, further along in the session, he brings up the subject that will come up in a group of smokers about once every five weeks: DIY crack making. He said, “I like to use beer instead of water.” [Okay, you researchers, the basic recipe is cocaine, baking soda, and water on the stove, got it?] “The yeast in there makes it rise up a little more.” [researchers: yeast—among other constraints in such a context—is not active in a simmer situation.] “Don’t use malt liquor, though; you can’t use malt liquor,” he continues. “It’s the alcohol. It kills the yeast.” [researchers: leaving aside the other obvious yeast-killing factors {remember, we’re simmering here…}, beer contains alcohol, too.] I was like, “I don’t know about that, but pour a little St. Ides in a warm bath, and your skin will come out so soft. Maybe not yours, I don’t know about that, but it works on white skin like mine. But you have to add it after the epsom salts; you can’t do it before.” …Okay, no, I didn’t say that. I made that part up. But the rest is honest-to-God.
Parta me really doesn’t want to go through this next bit, the comedown, armageddon, hellfirehellhell detox, not a bit, or even, for that matter, quit smoking the great white hope at all.
Utter par of me is so looking forward to an end to what has become a tedious, hasslin’ hurtful possessive bitch of a burden.

[ed. note: Okay, step back, Instructive Example - a little carried away gotten on something so stupid, wasting mucho precious time, energy, and alertness…a goofy shame…just silly, 100% pure unproductive self-indulgent wacking off…like you get stuck in a tic, a tape loop, and just want to see how long you can sustain the stringing out of it…
issue: raises question of whether this self-referential stuff belongs in among the rest, separate section, or hidden from public for internal use only. down to the value/preference of tight clean focus vs. broadly inclusive aspect-revealing and form-pushing variety that may occasionally-sometimes-frequently be boring-embarrassing-offensive. Consider point/purpose of format, consistence as well as evidence of purity/integrity/making good on claims/promises, excelling in transparency and vulnerability, the experience, the process, the mix and the modes, all in real-time, all fully exposed, nothing withheld, naked, trustable, intimate, complete, accurate, unmanipulated, corrupted, or shaped to suit or distort—the simultaneous/tag-team/intermittent popping and layering of several different tendencies, concerns, blah blah, and blee blah, so…on…]
