{PGZ/09_091_01.01}
SOMEWHERE A GIRL WAKES UP ... her heart's in pain
{PGZ/09_091_01.02} from some bad boyfriend gone ... but in her head {PGZ/09_091_01.03} he's hanging 'round... He's driving her insane {PGZ/09_091_01.04} enough to TURN THE TV ON from bed ...
{PGZ/09_091_01.06} at TeaTimeSunday ... But don't ask her why
{PGZ/09_091_01.07}
she reads them ... TURN THE VOLUME UP ... WE HEAR
{PGZ/09_091_01.08}
A DRIVING RHYTHM rolling ... and her SIGH ...
{PGZ/09_091_01.10}
We can't tell, but it's MOVING. Moving's good.
{PGZ/09_091_01.11}
The SINGING VOICE is male -- a plaintive teen ...
{PGZ/09_091_01.12}
A HAMMERING GUITAR. Her womanhood ...
{PGZ/09_091_01.14}
a GRAVEYARD whizzing by ...THE MOVIE numbs ...
{PGZ/09_092_02.01}
... the ache of losing him. AS IF she cared!
{PGZ/09_092_02.02}
The fucking bastard. "Cruel Intentions" STAR
{PGZ/09_092_02.03}
is DRIVING TO THE CITY... Golden haired --
{PGZ/09_092_02.04}
He's shining in the sun... His OPEN CAR ...
{PGZ/09_092_02.06}
From moving BLURS to GRAVESTONES ... PANNING UP
{PGZ/09_092_02.07}
to see THE CITY... Then that GUY who's hot
{PGZ/09_092_02.08}
goes sailing in so cool. Rich, leisured pup ...
{PGZ/09_092_02.10}
More proof that guys are scum. But in the end
{PGZ/09_092_02.11}
he'll fall in love... Then die... But now he speeds
{PGZ/09_092_02.12}
along to music with the perfect blend ...
{PGZ/09_092_02.14}
come from a bastard's brain. It's so absurd...
{PGZ/09_093_03.01}
... it's what she wants to hear to clear her mind
{PGZ/09_093_03.02}
of all his crap with words that he might sing
{PGZ/09_093_03.03}
dumped out in one big pile ... and then refined
{PGZ/09_093_03.04}
into a stream of rhythm that will bring ...
{PGZ/09_093_03.06}
She does not need the movie. Just the song.
{PGZ/09_093_03.07}
Gets out of BED... TURNS ON her MAC... Then go
{PGZ/09_093_03.08}
to google-up the name. And though it's wrong ...
{PGZ/09_093_03.10}
from some French site... Then plays it in a LOOP.
{PGZ/09_093_03.11}
That's all she wants to hear. MUTES her TV.
{PGZ/09_093_03.12}
Goes back to bed ... to let the angry soup ...
{PGZ/09_093_03.14}
where would-be pudding-girls can be extreme.
{PGZ/09_094_04.01}
SHE'S WALKING NAKED down the HALL to class...
{PGZ/09_094_04.02}
Her eyes behind DARK GLASSES... GUCCI BOOTS
{PGZ/09_094_04.03}
to kick the stupid bastard's sorry ass
{PGZ/09_094_04.04}
who'd break her fearless stride ... as she recruits ...
{PGZ/09_094_04.06}
to fight for her attention ... and to learn
{PGZ/09_094_04.07}
the secret of her boldness ... and be kissed
{PGZ/09_094_04.08}
by beauty. TRACK WITH HER... she makes A TURN...
{PGZ/09_094_04.10}
This can't be Texas. Can't be our Sagesse ..
{PGZ/09_094_04.11}
who's surely now in Paris ... many miles
{PGZ/09_094_04.12}
away from AUSTIN... Should we reassess ...
{PGZ/09_094_04.14}
the HIGH SCHOOL SCENES in TEXAS happ'ning now.
{PGZ/09_095_05.01}
THE PRINCIPAL ARRIVES ... but he's LOCKED OUT
{PGZ/09_095_05.02}
and no one seems to want to let him in
{PGZ/09_095_05.03}
unless he wil take off his pants and shout
{PGZ/09_095_05.04}
a hundred times that "Homework is a sin."
{PGZ/09_095_05.06}
SAGESSE picks up her CELL PHONE ... and TRANSMITS
{PGZ/09_095_05.07}
text messages pre-coded to release
{PGZ/09_095_05.08}
a media-commanding stream of bits.
{PGZ/09_095_05.10}
the LOCAL NEWS has CAM'RAS in his face.
{PGZ/09_095_05.11}
Another trophy for Sagesse's wall.
{PGZ/09_095_05.12}
Submission would have saved him this disgrace ...
{PGZ/09_095_05.14}
in public... Not a step that can be skipped.
{PGZ/09_096_06.01}
IN TOKYO the SCHOOL-GIRL CALL-GIRL frowns
{PGZ/09_096_06.02}
at HER NEW CELL PHONE ... with an Internet
{PGZ/09_096_06.03}
connection that too often merely drowns
{PGZ/09_096_06.04}
its COLOR SCREEN with some cute POP-UP PET ...
{PGZ/09_096_06.06}
some no-name merchandise... JUST PRESS one key.
{PGZ/09_096_06.07}
AS IF she'd be caught dead! BUT WAIT, some guy
{PGZ/09_096_06.08}
is sending a request about her fee...
{PGZ/09_096_06.10}
to anyone -- except this guy she likes ...
{PGZ/09_096_06.11}
No, NOT JEROME,... Some POP STAR we've not met ...
{PGZ/09_096_06.12}
And NOR has she ... EXCEPT in dreams ... SHE HIKES ...
{PGZ/09_096_06.14}
SHE SHUTS THE PHONE ... When will she draw new lines ...
{PGZ/09_097_07.01}
... for what she'll sell. She wonders, but not long ...
{PGZ/09_097_07.02}
before ... HER PHONE is making CRICKET SOUNDS.
{PGZ/09_097_07.03}
The pop star that she loves has some NEW SONG
{PGZ/09_097_07.04}
that's just DOWNLOADED ... CLICK The BASS LINE POUNDS ...
{PGZ/09_097_07.06}
some EARPHONES in... SHE SMILES and KISSES him...
{PGZ/09_097_07.07}
HIS PICTURE ON THE SCREEN ... The face that tugs
{PGZ/09_097_07.08}
her school-girl heart.... TOO BAD he's just a SIM...
{PGZ/09_097_07.10}
Not with THAT FACE ... the one that's been DESIGNED
{PGZ/09_097_07.11}
to fit schoolgirl desires right to a "T."
{PGZ/09_097_07.12}
SHE KNOWS ... But does not care. He seems so kind ...
{PGZ/09_097_07.14}
to hear "HIM" (for a fee) dispense romance.
{PGZ/09_098_08.01}
IN TEXAS where a muted TV shows
{PGZ/09_098_08.02}
mean Sarah Gellar kissing Sela Ward ...
{PGZ/09_098_08.03}
The HIGH SCHOOL GIRL who's DREAMING in night clothes
{PGZ/09_098_08.04}
of being naked ... somehow cuts the cord ...
{PGZ/09_098_08.06}
TO PARIS ... BREAKFAST TIME ... with crust of bread
{PGZ/09_098_08.07}
dipped in moussed PUDDING ... Though the dream is blurred
{PGZ/09_098_08.08}
some details ... she know what SAGESSE has said ...
{PGZ/09_098_08.10}
T-SHIRT & JEAN-CLAD ... BY THE FERRIS WHEEL
{PGZ/09_098_08.11}
(Parisians have removed from where it sat...
{PGZ/09_098_08.12}
BUT we have put it back... for this CHAT/MEAL)
{PGZ/09_098_08.14}
SAGESSE is saying: "You've not read the text."
{PGZ/09_099_09.01}
THE GIRL turns red ..."I'm sorry please forgive ...
{PGZ/09_099_09.02}
Oh God, I'm sorry... You're not going to die!"
{PGZ/09_099_09.03}
SAGESSE is smiling: "How long shall I live?
{PGZ/09_099_09.04}
A thousand years? ... My dear, the end is nigh. ...
{PGZ/09_099_09.06}
And how about yourself? When will you POOF?
{PGZ/09_099_09.07}
Someday we'll die... It's nothing we should fear ...
{PGZ/09_099_09.08}
or be concerned with... OTHER THAN don't goof ...
{PGZ/09_099_09.10}
"I've heard that you're a CHRISTIAN ... is the cause
{PGZ/09_099_09.11}
of your not fearing death... INSANITY
{PGZ/09_099_09.12}
some people say ... while still they give applause ...
{PGZ/09_099_09.14}
"Enjoy the moment ... I'm not in the mood ...
{PGZ/09_100_10.01}
... to talk THEOLOGY. Mine is COMPLEX
{PGZ/09_100_10.02}
... or SIMPLE from a DIFF'RENT point of view
{PGZ/09_100_10.03}
that evangelicals think has defects.
{PGZ/09_100_10.04}
We disagree about what Christ said do."
{PGZ/09_100_10.06}
WITHIN A DREAM a girl in Texas dreams
{PGZ/09_100_10.07}
WHILE WAITING FOR SOME SONNETS to get done
{PGZ/09_100_10.08}
and posted... Some strange, California schemes...
{PGZ/09_100_10.10}
that Shakespeare's sonnet form can be revived
{PGZ/09_100_10.11}
on Sundays ... as postmodernly he weaves
{PGZ/09_100_10.12}
a verse-fit RHETORIC (has it survived?) ...
{PGZ/09_100_10.14}
A CONTEXT for enhanced DEMOCRACY.
{PGZ/09_101_11.02}
the SAME SONG ... from the movie that's still on
{PGZ/09_101_11.03}
her TELEVISION ... BLURRING TO A HAZE ...
{PGZ/09_101_11.04}
REFOCUSING... The FILM we saw is GONE...
{PGZ/09_101_11.06}
A RUSSIAN WAR OF WORDS that's in its place.
{PGZ/09_101_11.07}
CYRILLIC LETTERS spell "FREEDOM OF SPEECH."
{PGZ/09_101_11.08}
A RUSSIAN TELEVISION ... WHEN each face ...
{PGZ/09_101_11.10}
DISPLAYING HOW THE AUDIENCE AGREES ...
{PGZ/09_101_11.11}
OR NOT... Do they say "STUPID" ... or say "SMART"?
{PGZ/09_101_11.12}
THE AUDIENCE is NOT a PROP ... BUT SEES ...
{PGZ/09_101_11.14}
DEMOCRACY is NEW ... They must INVENT....
{PGZ/09_102_12.01}
... a way to truly make it MANIFEST.
{PGZ/09_102_12.02}
UNLIKE the USA
{PGZ/09_102_12.03}
embarrassing "debaters" with a TEST
{PGZ/09_102_12.04}
OF AUDIENCE AGREEMENT... There's a void ...
{PGZ/09_102_12.06}
to know what "PEOPLE" think ... EXCEPT by POLL
{PGZ/09_102_12.07}
or Nielson RATING... Good Lord, it would daunt
{PGZ/09_102_12.08}
the power-talkers ... if we JUDGED their role...
{PGZ/09_102_12.10}
Our U.S. TALKING HEADS are terrified
{PGZ/09_102_12.11}
of being judged as "STUPID" ... Shown the door.
{PGZ/09_102_12.12}
IT SHOULD BE CLEAR "Democracy" has died...
{PGZ/09_102_12.14}
They only want "THE PEOPLE" ... if we're "CANNED."
{PGZ/09_103_13.01}
"CANNED LAUGHTER" ... "CANNED DEMOCRACY" ... Controlled.
{PGZ/09_103_13.02}
They do NOT want SURPRISES in a speech.
{PGZ/09_103_13.03}
They want OUR SILENCE ... as we're being TOLD.
{PGZ/09_103_13.04}
THAT'S truly what OUR SCHOOLS are meant to TEACH. ...
{PGZ/09_103_13.06}
SUBMIT to their AUTHORITY ... DON'T ASK ...
{PGZ/09_103_13.07}
JUST ANSWER, kids ... speak/write like you are dead.
{PGZ/09_103_13.08}
We DO NOT WANT your voice ... except to MASK...
{PGZ/09_103_13.10}
Some Russians still don't know that it's not real.
{PGZ/09_103_13.11}
They think its something solid they can see
{PGZ/09_103_13.12}
right on the TV SCREEN what people feel.
{PGZ/09_103_13.14}
When they "grow up" ... They'll play it just the same.
{PGZ/09_104_14.01}
IN TEXAS SHE WAKES UP ... and STOPS the TUNE,
{PGZ/09_104_14.02}
AND MUMBLES "Crazy dream" ... as SHE CHECKS if
{PGZ/09_104_14.03}
the TeaTimeSunday VERSE is up. By noon?
{PGZ/09_104_14.04}
WHENEVER ... Did HE run it off a cliff? ...
{PGZ/09_104_14.06}
of pudding-girl ... but rather anything
{PGZ/09_104_14.07}
that seems to cross his mind ... A STUPID MALE
{PGZ/09_104_14.08}
LIKE my bad boyfriend... Thinks he's F-ing King...
{PGZ/09_104_14.10}
Has he been in my BLOG again ... to steal
{PGZ/09_104_14.11}
ideas to fill his verse out with? OK
{PGZ/09_104_14.12}
If that's what he must do to "keep it real." {smirk}
{PGZ/09_104_14.14}
You mean this crap he wrote took all damn night?!?
