It's a dream when you seem to be walking into the sun

Today has heavily featured my physical health being terrible, but I am cheered by the ongoing attempts of my spam e-mail to become James Joyce:

For a drink sovereign avuncular to be benedictus, step by step silk. Very chaste this everywhere contortionist. In front of licentiate, interment. What clerical topping may upholsterer at work aboard. Off directorate may I the northwester subdue? What morality persimmon by car anarchist were quartered. Away begonia out. How old head.

Needs more verbs to be Dylan Thomas. I also like this interview with John Kander about Cabaret.

What morality persimmon, indeed. (Though I think my favorite line is "Very chaste this everywhere contortionist.")

Ask not what mortality persimmon by car anarchist were quertered--he by car anarchist were quartered for you! How old head, indeed. Out with the old head, in with the new! If you **do** the northwester subdue, your health may improve, but only a clarical topping would be so contortionist as to suggest this to someone in your physical state.

I want a story with all these things, but especially the mortality persimmon.

That's a fabulous interview. I was obsessed with the movie version when it came out, but I did NOT know that Judi Dench played Sally Bowles when the show opened in London. How I would like to have been there, thumbing my nose at the reviewers.

I hope you feel more the thing soon. *hug*

If you feel you can work with it, feel no guilt in stealing the wonders for your own poetry!

So a Dadaist poet has a day job writing spam email?

Reminds me of how I once saw a guy on a bus in Chicago wearing a sport jacket with these words on the back: "Celebrate Nature, Seek Perfection." I thought, "That's the best, most concise definition of New England Transcendentalism I've ever seen!" I approached him and asked where he got his jacket. He didn't speak English well, but he was able to communicate that the Chinese manufacturer had just put random words on his jacket. The power of random word generation!

I send good health vibes your way.
