I just want to live. Here I stand, I can do no other. God help me, amen. I’m a wayfarer, just traipsing around this big
old globe, which by the way is careening out of control in a seemingly chaotic
universe or perhaps being gradually snuffed out under the dark auspices of
capricious and sadistic deities—I don’t know.
I’m just taking in data, absorbing phenomena, livin’ la vida loca, soaking
up the cathode rays, and drinking in ultraviolet radiation, a foul and
pestilent congregation of vapors hovering over this Earth, that is to say, the
devil’s playground. I just want to
live!
