A VERY SHORT FLING adapted from Hemingway's A VERY SHORT STORY:
One hot evening in New York they stepped up onto the roof and he could look out over the top of the city. There were skyscrapers. After a while it got dark and the searchlights came out. The others went down and took the bottles with them. He and Mel could hear them below on the balcony. Mel sat on the steps. She was cool and fresh in the hot night.
Mel stayed through the night. He was glad to let her. He sat beside her on the steps and they talked. As they talked, Mel did not get up from the steps. They were only teenagers. He liked Mel. As they sat on the steps he thought of Mel naked.
Before they went back downstairs he seduced her. It was dim and quiet, and there were other people downstairs. It was their first time, but there was not enough time, and luckily they had condoms. They felt as though they were aroused, but they didn't want everyone to know about it, and to make it so they could lose it.
Mel fucked him on the steps so that he got off. Fifteen years old came in a bunch to the two and he sorted fucks by the dates and logged them all straight through in a notebook. They were all about the sex, and how much she loved him and how it was impossible to get along without him and how she wanted to do anything for him.
After the affair he went to Massachusetts for school. Mel would not go to the same school until he could come to New York to meet her. It was understood he would not drink, and he did not want to see his friends or anyone in New York. Only to fuck. On the train from Massachusetts to New York they quarreled on the cell phone about her not being willing to come to Massachusetts for school. When they had to say good-bye, in the station at New Haven on the phone, they were not finished with the quarrel. He felt sick about saying good-bye like that.
He went to New York. Mel did not meet him. It was lonely and rainy there. Staying in the rainy city during fall, a movie director fucked Mel, and she had never known it in the asshole before, and finally called Massachusetts to say that theirs had only been a boy and girl affair. She was sorry, and she knew he would probably not be able to understand, but might some day forgive her, and be grateful to her, and she expected, absolutely unexpectedly, to be in pornographic films. She was satisfied by him as always, but she realized now it was only a boy and girl satisfaction. She hoped he would have a great life, and believed in him absolutely. She knew it was for the best.
The director did not cast Mel at any time. She never heard from her first on the steps again. A short time after she contracted gonorrhea from a man she met while sharing a taxicab through Central Park.
Polymorphosis - KJV Genesis Ch. 1:
1. In the end, Man created the times and the square.
2. And the square was with edifices, and replete; and neon was upon the façade of the
city. And the Currencies of Man tarried upon the façade of the society.
3. And Man said, Let there be blackouts: and there were blackouts.
4. And Man saw the blackouts, that it was evil: and Man multiplied the blackouts from the neon.
5. And Man called the blackouts Blackouts, and the neon he called Rights. And the electricity and the cocktail were the last right.
6. And Man said, Let there be a network in the midst of the societies, and let it multiply the societies from the society.
7. And Man made the network, and multiplied the societies which were over the network from the society which was the underbelly society: and it was so.
8. And Man called the network Times. And the electricity and the cocktail were the cardinal Right.
10. And Man called the wet-brains Square(s); and the individual scattering of the societies called he Seers: and Man saw that it was evil.
11. And Man said, Let the square spring forth liquor, the dealer-wielding-weed, and the nut-cases wielding craziness after their differences, whose weed is out of others, under the square: and it was so.
12. And the square sprung forth weed, and dealer-wielding-weed after their differences, and the nut-cases wielding craziness, whose weed was out of others, after their differences: and Man saw that it was evil.
13. And the electricity and the cocktail were the cardinal Right.
14. And Man said, Let there be blackouts in the network of the times to multiply the blackouts from the neon; and let them be for misnomers, and for illogic, and for right, and forgettable:
15. And let them be for blackouts in the network of the times to give blackouts upon the square: and it was so.
16. And Man made two puny blackouts; the puniest blackout to submit to the rights, and the greater blackout to submit to the neon: he made the nook & cranny also.
17. And Man set them in the network of the times to give blackouts upon the square,
31. And Man saw no person that he had created, and, behold, it was evil. And the electricity and the cocktail were the cardinal Right.

the still culture that hath death, and miserly that may bury under the
square in the closed network of times.

that tarries, which the societies sprung forth grudgingly, after their
differences, and every binged miser after their differences: and Man saw
that it was evil.

empty the society out of the seers, and let misers divide out of the
square.
23. And the electricity and the cocktail were the cardinal Right.
24. And Man said, Let the square spring forth the dead
culture after their differences, glitterati, and striding person, and
urchins of the square after their differences: and it was so.
25. And Man made the urchins of the square after their
differences, and glitterati after his differences, and every person that
strides upon the square after their differences: and Man saw that it
was evil.
26. And Man said, Let us forsake woman in your porno, before
your differences: and let them have submission under the semen of the
seer, and under the miserly of the grime, and under the glitterati and
under all of the square, and under every striding person that strides
upon the square.
27. So Man created woman out of other porno, out of the porn of woman created he her; hermaphrodites created he them.
28. And Man cursed them, and Man said to them, Be crazy, and divide, and empty the square, and fuck it: and have submission under the semen of the seer, and under the miserly of the grime and under every 'quick & dead' person that tarries upon the square.
27. So Man created woman out of other porno, out of the porn of woman created he her; hermaphrodites created he them.
28. And Man cursed them, and Man said to them, Be crazy, and divide, and empty the square, and fuck it: and have submission under the semen of the seer, and under the miserly of the grime and under every 'quick & dead' person that tarries upon the square.
29. And Man said, Behold,
you-have-withheld-me-no-dealer-bearing-weed, which is under the façade
of all the square, and no case, in the which is the craziness of a nut
wielding weed; to you it shall be for vomit.
30. And to no urchin of the square, and to no miser of the
grime, and to no person that strides under the square, wherein there is
death, you have taken no kind weed for alms: and it was so.
31. And Man saw no person that he had created, and, behold, it was evil. And the electricity and the cocktail were the cardinal Right.

AGGRAVATED ILLNESS:
Police want Portland residents to be aware that there should be no barriers for people who seek mental health support services in the city.
The department held its first Family Forum on Tuesday night at the police station to promote those services and make its position clear: no one, regardless of their situation, should be denied help in a crisis.
Outside, Portland, ME is dark at 4pm in November. Suffering from a spell of cabin fever on one such evening in 2011 and the dog needing to go out, I ventured out not suspecting what I was about to experience on the street in front of the house where I have lived for ten years.
Some ten years ago, I lived in the West End of Portland before I moved to where I presently stay and have resided for ten years.
When I lived on the West End of Portland, On or about June 11, 2001, I was stopped by three burly officers of the law in cruisers at Longfellow Square and was asked why I was crowing like a rooster as they had reports of my yelling slurs.
I explained that I was not slurring people; that I hated nobody and that I was crowing like a rooster because miscreants were calling me a chicken adding:
"I was walking in VD Port the other day reading the Casco Bay Jerkly when all of a sudden one of those high school kids and you know how they hang out down there up and says 'have fun going home with your dog tonight.' So, being a clown I tooted my bike horn twice like a clown does."
One of the officers said that this was good, but told me to go home and go to work. I did.
(For the full story: google "Mental Illness Prophecy").
I was hospitalized for SZ in July 2001 after being beaten down in my rental apartment on the fourth of July, 2001 at 1am by the landlord's underage drinking buddies from Portland HS when the landlord and his wife had been out of town and I caught the kids fucking over the chickens in the back yard being awoken by their party.
I had called the police, but when the police came, they said not to call them anymore as the kids had hidden and then reappeared after the police left. I was hospitalized for SZ after the Fourth of July, 2001 and released from the psych ward on August 3, 2001.
On August 4, 2001, one of the kids from July 4, 2001 shouted at me when he saw me and said that he would "kill me."
I proceeded to notify my doctor, my parents, the landlord's friends down the street and the doctor told me to tell the police and file a report, the which when I went to the station, they escorted me to the hospital yet again.
I was in approximately ten police paddy wagons, cruisers and ambulances between 2001 and 2002 in Portland, ME taking me for five hospitalizations due to an illness aggravated by miscreants (or otherwise known as other people's kids) and bad parenting in the community.
On the night in question, Tuesday, November 15, 2011: I was suffering from cabin fever and ventured out for a few minutes with my dog for air.
When I opened the front door and stepped out onto the walk where I live, I noticed a police cruiser with lights flashing and parked. Another cruiser was up the street. A police man standing next to the nearer cruiser was texting and a large group of kids (no more in age than 15yo) were running around on the next block apparently going up to different houses and "knocking for suspicious activity" (as I was to find out later is what's dubbed: "Community Policing").
"The Portland Police Department is committed to a community approach to policing our neighbourhoods. This requires officers to become immersed in the neighbourhoods they serve and become a resource for residents as well as law enforcement."
Apparently, Community Policing is fifteen year old kids knocking for suspicious activity. Then, as my dog made his usual rounds on the corner with my "rubber necking" some, I was about to turn back into my house when at least six of the group of +/-twenty kids I had seen, ran up to me on the corner while my dog relieved himself, confronted me, and told me to take my hands out of my pockets: that they were going to ask me a few questions.
Having seen a urologist for that particular side effect due to my experiences with other people's kids, I curtly told them to "fuck off," turned around and walked back to my house.
I was standing on the walk way to where I live at the foot of the steps for the front door of the house and the police man whom I had seen texting strode up to me out of the dark and said in an authoritative tone:
"Why were you rude to those kids!?"
I replied:
"I saw a urologist for that particular side effect."
"What does that have to do with what you told them?" he retorted.
"It means that I don't do what kids tell me and you should know that," failing to mention "Lance the dispatcher" and his knowledge of me my having listened to a police scanner 24/7 for six months once upon a time.
I heard "Lance the dispatcher" tell an officer jokingly that he would order the officer to go after "Jimmy," (assumedly me in my mind), if the officer didn't follow another dispatch order.
The officer standing on the walkway to the house where I live continued:
"Well, those kids are performing a community service. You shouldn't have told them that. Do you have ID?"
"Well, I'm schizoid," I told him. "I saw my doctor today. I was just coming out to walk my dog. I live here," I told him.
I gave him my ID and then asked:
"What!? You going to take me to jail?"
"I might," he retorted as he called in my license number and found out from the "Lance on duty" who I was and my history with police in Portland.
"Hey!" I told him as he was calling into a dispatcher: "I counted to 24-1000 on December 8 last year. I haven't done anything."
Upon retrieving information on my license, he said after he told me to be quiet so he could tell me something:
"If I hear of you being mean to kids again, I am going to arrest you."
Then, I asked:
"Can I tell you something now?"
He acquiesced and I barked:
"Kids were mean to me once upon a time. You tell those kids NOT to be mean to me or I'll sue!"

A Pennsylvania man won $50,000 after he was cited for flipping off a cop. "The U.S. Supreme Court has consistently held that speech may not be prohibited simply because some may find it offensive," said Ira P. Robbins, a law professor from American University in Washington D.C. "Virtually every time someone is arrested for this, assuming there's no other criminal behavior... the case is either dismissed before trial or the person is convicted at trial and wins on appeal."
----------------------------------------------------------------
In my experience, Portland's programs for Mental Health Support Services and Community Policing are divergent, contradictory and aggravate situations. "howler and spider monkeys diverged from a common ancestor".

"FUCK YOU: YA ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT KIDS!" Arrest me.
BORN OF A WOMAN:
Romney accuses Obama of standing by while a looming sex calamity unfolds in the porn industry as he seeks to regain his footing after a rough week.
For several weeks, we asked Romney to explain how he can add sex workers, as promised, while cutting the industry’s depravity, as also promised.
Now he’s effectively let the dogs out: He can’t.
It was a question without a right answer, and Romney still managed to get it wrong.
Romney says he would cut celibacy is the best policy spending by some $500 a year by the end of his first sex escapade, while protecting himself.
According to new international industry polling data, the majority of Europeans would like to see Obama star in more films. Unknown to many in Europe, the French-speaking Romney has the continent on his CV, after spending 30 months in France at sex missionaries as a young stud.
Romney trails Obama in national porn appearances. Romney's paths to appearances in porn debuts continue to dwindle. As Romney ends his porn photo shoot in L.A. today, he makes an unusually direct appeal to sex workers in the swinger's city:
“I’m counting on you, L.A.,” he tells sex workers. “We have to fuck this. Find someone whose out-sexed me, get him to join our orgy.”
Romney manages to give Obama a run for the money. The sex workers begin to turn (decisively, it turns out) against him when he suffers ball disease. Romney ends with a lesson:
“The sex partners I was with turned to me and said, ‘You know, 95 percent of sex is settled if you are Mormon.”
SPOOF ON VOICES:
Why do psychiatrists ask: "do you hear voices?"
It is a baited question posed to schizophrenics. Also, it is a stupid question because on the one hand, if the patient says: 'yes,' then it is acknowledged that the patient hears 'voices.' However, the doctor can't hear the 'voices.' But, the doctor is acknowledging the patient verbatim when a patient says that they hear 'voices.'
(Yet, few psychiatrists or members of the public will acknowledge anything else a person diagnosed with schizophrenia suppositions, instead the norm being to assume that the person 'hears voices' 24/7/365. Thus, schizophrenics are discounted: except in the case(s) when the patient says that they 'hear voices,' which is stigma).
The term 'voices' originated from hospital settings wherein a patient(s) used the most apt term available to them in their limited vocabulary and education to describe their experience. The term 'voices' was then coined by psychiatrists and used in the DSM-IV because psychiatrists heard the term on the ward originally from patients. (Royalties?)
One supposition is that there is no such thing as 'voices' to describe a schizophrenic's experience. 'Hearing voices' is 'hearing things' that are not 'there' or within earshot, in terms of the DSM-IV schizophrenia definition of it. Thinking is 'voices.' A person sounds out words in the brain before uttering the words. It might take a nano-second for the brain's thought (sounding out) to reach the tongue. In that nano-second, it is a 'voice' that is not 'there.'
Thus, a thought is a 'voice(s).' Everybody has thoughts. So, everybody hears voice(s). The term 'voices' to describe what a schizophrenic might be experiencing is a misconstrued description of what is 'disorganized thinking' to one degree or another in terms of the manifestation of 'disorganized thinking' in varied individuals: not just schizophrenics.
Lastly, if 'voices' originate from within the brain because there is no other source for them, then what is 'voices' but thoughts?
