AFTER that big old sun takes a
load off going totally bogus plus
terminator x it -
there are so many other things to
remember after all is said and done
but not right now-
some one ought to make the point
what it don't isn't a matter anymore
than if history lived in a broken tea
kettle -
time has a bit up its sleeve yet most
won't know about that until the end
damn near begins again -
my face done gone made itself a
freckle today and I'm surprised by
the way it makes me realize it "In
the first place I'm sort of an atheist.
I like Jesus and all but I don't care
too much for most of the other stuff
in the Bible. Take the Disciples for
instance. They annoy the hell out
of me if you want to know the truth.
They were all right after Jesus was
dead and all but while He was alive
they were about as much use to him
as a hole in the head. All they did was
keep letting him down. I like almost
anybody in the Bible better than the
Disciples. If you want to know the
truth the guy I like best in the Bible
next to Jesus was the lunatic and all
that lived in tombs and kept cutting
himself with stones. I like him ten
times as much as the Disciples that
poor bastard."
Salinger, The Catcher In The Rye
