Between the years
1960 and 1970 I lived from birth
to age ten.
From 1970 to 1980 I went from 10 to 20.
During the '80s I am in my 20s.
From 1990 to 2000 I will go from 30 to 40 years old.
From 2000 to 2010 I will go from 40 to 50 years old.
I will reach 60 in the year 2020, 70 in the year 2030
(knock on polystyrene).
I can just as easily believe that life expectancy for
U.S. white males will decrease as I can believe the promise
that it will increase. There are those who forecast
longevity not by individual age but by collective date
(i.e. none of us will see the end of the century/year/day).
In 1924 Artaud complained
that Picasso was defining himself
much more than he was expressing himself.
Heinrich Heine (1797—1848):
A maid had befriended an invisible
house spirit over the years and had arranged a place for him
near the hearth where they talked away long winter evenings.
Finally the maid asked Heinchen for so she called the spirit
to let himself be seen as nature had shaped him. But Heinzchen
refused at first but then relented, saying the maid should go
down into the cellar where she would be able to see him. So the
maid took a lamp and went down into the cellar and there. in
an open barrel, she beheld a dead child swimming in its own
blood. The maid had given birth many years before to an il-
legitimate child, had murdered it and thrust the corpse
into a barrel.
Edit deAk presents
a likely exchange: "Have you seen
what I've been doing?" "No, I didn't even know you
existed."
The West German
Police find it difficult to accept that
someone (I) might be living in their country without a
(regular) job and without being under the wing of an
institution. Unabhaengigkeit (independence, whether I
want it (to be jobless) or not) is not a ready-made
category for foreigners.
