CASTLES IN THE SKY

after introductions and a round of spring water
the reichfuhrer led us to a garden that had a
commanding view of the valley and a distant
river . we gathered around a painting that sat
on an easel . the reichfuhrer told the following story

" in the days of my childhood i apprenticed
under my uncle to be an artist . he was quite
a taskmaster . the first year of my training
consisted only of the constuction of easels from
wood of trees we felled . the making of canvases
and the mixing of paints . yes my uncle was a
taskmaster and rightfully so

" at the end of my training we hiked to a neighboring
valley . the journey through forest and across a river
was very exciting to me . i carried a lunch of two loaves
of black bread fresh bratwurst and pickled cabbage
which had been prepared by my beloved aunt

" at our destination i was impressed by the sight of
a stone castle sitting upon a mountain side . after
our camp was set up i prepared our easels canvases
and the various paints . before starting he said to me

' adolph the artist has a responsibility . he is to create
an impression upon the viewer an impression that
provides an upliftment . never forget that '

" this painting is my first . it is of that castle . i attempted
to convey to the viewer the idea of a german state as
eternal and strong as the stones of that castle . a german
state of a thousand years "

we unanimously agreed the reichfuhrer had succeeded

LIVE NUDE FEMALES


recently i had a chance to frolic among the monied
and educated who subscribe to a newer age.
the opportunity to hike and camp and piss in the
woods like the mighty bear was a perfect antidote
to city living. the resort featured a series of pools
with hot and cold spring water and where clothing
is very optional. it was abound with live nude
females. pleasant. very pleasant indeed

to pass a bit of time away from the pleasing scene
described above i participated in a workshop.
creative writing. the first hour consisted of writing
exercises based on figures of history. i was given
vice president dick cheney. this is what i wrote

MEETING MR CHENEY

an audience was granted and a single question
submitted in advance allowed

i was escorted to and seated in a comfortable
leather armchair. a circular table set with
a pitcher of water and two glasses separated
the vice president and myself. he wore a dark
blue sports jacket with a green golfing shirt.
his hands were folded and upon the table

the vice president leaned forward and said
" so you want to know why we are where we are? "
after pausing to lean a bit closer a slight smile
appeared on his face. " we are here because
there is a nation to maintain at a certain living
standard. a nation of three hundred million
spoiled ingrates who want each and every thing
at a low low price every and each day. that is
the problem and that is why we are where we are

have a pleasant day "

for some moments no one said anything, finally
the instructor said "well, that's a scary thought"

he then called another attendee to recite her piece
