- No, no, NO! T.S.E. is talking about how desire simply decouples the world
- from introspection. Something to think about as the peach juice is
- dribbling down your chin while you walk along the nude beach all
- self-conscious about whether rolling up your long pants will make your
- pale skinny chicken-skin legs even more conspicuous than keeping them
- clothed, not even noticing those two mermaids about to leap from the
- waves and drag you in, belting out "Surfin' Safari" at each other
- and laughing hysterically as they push your head under for the third
- time...."That'll teach HIM to ask `What is sex?'!"
-
- ....Sorry. The weather just got nice here, after more rain than drought-
- stricken California has had in seven years, and I'm having a premature
- outbreak of spring fever. Back to your usual program of droll rejoinders
- and Graydon-sniping.
