  YA GOTTA TASTE ALL THE FRUIT (Tribute to Mae West inextricably soldered to the hood of Denver Nightlife circa: late 80's), an ornament of beauty and class - a windshield of scum under the big sky entertainment, having the effect of searching the moon for a soft spot...it's a car town. Full to the neck as you sink into the grooved pavement like a train to train tracks, wholesale Depressants, A Nod to the AM Easy Days, Chicago seems around the corner, at the end of the Denver Loop (Elevated) and we truly entertaining ourselves now...

  AND WHEN I ARRIVED/YOU WERE ALREADY INSANE/ AND WHEN I LANDED I SPOKE WITH THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT/AT THE TROPIC OF SCORPIO/THEY SAID NOW BABY YOU HAVE COME HOME/INTO MY NIGHT/THIS IS MY NIGHT (of Pleasure): It does not exist, like the Bermuda Triangle (we speculate), Latitudes and Longitudes of Pleasure. The Pleasure Traders. The Mud Jacking Contractors, in an automobile...wired to the gills. They are not looking for millennium sex at the end of the rainbow but more in the order of love, child, and conveineince (mispelled) WHEN THE CASSETTE BREAKS/THROW IT OUT THE WINDOW/AND WHEN THE CAR BREAKS? (what is there then to do?) In the immortal words of the Tube (The New Frontier), "Pleasure, Your Pleasure, Is Our Only Business." "You're Not Only Right, You're Close." MY NIGHT OF PLEASURE (The delegation of a certain night, specifically, as 'your' night, in which everything nice is done for you by others, and you are the MVP - most valuable player - of the evening...) IN THE REALM OF THE VALUE NEUTRALS.

  Q: "Its Friday Night, Honey, You know what that means."
  A: "Let's take the Super Colossal Car Crushing Bigfoot."
