Havin a damn good time of it all! I love people who take risks in life, show them all how it's done. Ranch dressing and bacon also interest me greatly, but not bacon flavored Ranch. Baths also gets two thumbs up! Monkeys are solid. Vieux Carre strolls. The workings of my city, day by day. Carpe Scrotum.... grab life by da.... ! Word.
I'd like to meet:
More BIG EASY cats who are all about gettin it done.. Yeah, ya right... Friends, pow wow buddies, blues/jazz fans, dancing fools, good people all over... the skies the limit. I don't have time for fakes, liars or drama freaks, that's just not my bag. Those of you who love this city, are here to help (and here to stay) are GOLD in my book. '-) Make sure to say "hey hey" if ya see me around town; NOLA don't know shy.

THE WHOLE MESS… ALMOST
By Gregory Corso
I ran up six flights of stairs
To my small furnished room
Opened the window
And began throwing out
Those things most important in life.
First to go, Truth, squealing like a fink:
“Don’t! I’ll tell awful things about you!â€
“Oh yeah! Well, I’ve nothing to hide… OUT!â€
Then went God, glowering & whimpering in amazement:
“It’s not my fault! I’m not the cause of it all!†“OUT!â€
Then Love, cooing bribes: “You’ll never know impotency!â€
All the girls on Vogue covers, all yours!â€
I pushed her fat ass out and screamed:
“You always end up a bummer!â€
I picked up Faith Hope Charity
All three clinging together:
“Without us you’ll surely die!â€
“With you I’m going nuts! Goodbye!â€
Then Beauty… ah, Beauty-
As I led her to the window
I told her “You I loved best in life
… but you’re a killer; Beauty kills!â€
Not really meaning to drop her
I immediately ran downstairs
Getting there just in time to catch her
“You saved me!†she cried
I put her down and told her: “Move on.â€
Went back up those six flights
Went to the money
There was no money to throw out.
The only thing left in the room was Death
Hiding beneath the kitchen sink:
“I’m just a rumor spread by life…â€
Laughing I threw it out, kitchen sink and all
And suddenly realized Humor
Was all that was left –
All I could do with Humor was to say:
“Out the window with the window!â€
