DAY 5 (FIFTH DAY)

20 And God said, “Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the vault of the sky.” 21 So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living thing with which the water teems and that moves about in it, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 22 God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth.” 23 And there was evening, and there was morning—the fifth day.

 Independence Day (July 4, Year 250)

"Hello... My name is Billy.  I hear Radio Waves in my head...."



Today is the 4th of July.  250 years.  Independence Day.  Maybe that's a number you can try?  


What number?


Listen and you will see.


Have you gotten to the part with numbers?  Feed the machine.  You're already doing it.  You might as well do it consciously.


I went out the night before last and danced the Manta Ray.




I wore a Guadalupe t-shirt and imagined myself a bull-fighter with a long, swift rapier.  Is that what they're called?  You probably know what I mean.  



But someone came up to me and said I was racist to dress that way, so I hid in the corner.  

  I'm sorry.   I really am.


1 1 1 1 1 1 7 1 1 1 1 1 1

I always loved India, South America, Germany, et al.  But I guess I'm a racist for wanting to celebrate a culture that is not my own?  Did I say something wrong?   I'm an old man now.  I speak what I think.  I'm a racist for wanting to be a bull fighter.  


Our culture is not your costume.


Sorry for offending.  It's just I imagine myself a bull fighter.  I see myself in the outfit, and--in my mind--I look pretty good, too.  But that's neither here nor there.  I'll stick with what I know and maintain a culture appropriateness.



I know Hawthorne, Melville, Emerson, Thoreau, Dickinson, Poe, Morrison, Walker, Albee, Ellison, Twain, Fitzgerald, Williams, Jacobs, or...  am I not to like them, too?

My culture is not your costume?

Yeah, fuck you too.


I am the conquistador bull-fighter.  I'll go into the ring, and flowers--flowers--fall at my feet.

DAY 4 (FOURTH DAY)

  14 And God said, “Let there be lights in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark sacred times, and days and years, 15 and let them be lights in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth.” And it was so. 16 God made two great lights—the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars. 17 God set them in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth, 18 to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good. 19 And there was evening, and there was morning—the fourth day. _____________________________________________________ Google Day `  13 years turned 1 2012 - 2025 (13) 1 - 2020X Year 2 in the LOOP December 08, 2015                                                           ...
