		Only a fool enters a room unwanted. In love or out of love, we are suspended as in a limbo created by the presence of or lack of someone else. The road to riches is often paved with bad intentions.

THE ADVENTURES OF CLARK KENT		Your body lying easy in the August day is not a challenge but an invitation. Being lazy too I leave it to Old Sol to ravage. Night – always more dependable than sunshine has a way of coming 'round on time and I have always been a patient man. Do not think I haven't seen those intrepid hikers of the summer beach who in the guise of Sunshine Supermen live out the tail end of afternoons behind half Venetian blinds with what they've staked out and followed down on midmornings. Mind the rope that I tied about your ankle. No Latin son/sun can steal my mistress for more than just a single afternoon -from the album and book "With Love, " 1970 Revised 7/31/08
