Feeling like a brown velvet blanket on the back of a friends couch tonight … like a purple sunset …. Like …. Like the grass … like wind

He heads towards a west that is the dreamer's true north, where the desert comes looking for us and curls at the door, a wild animal made of our ashes; hijacking the sun halfway, Jesse leaves his shadow at the crossroads. For the first time since his mad leap into another life, he hears in his head the singing that is his voice but isn't. Among the trains passengers is talk of a shadow track that cuts through the heart of the century with impunity, as though no time exists of calibration or counting, only an era of the mind. Every shadow hides a shaft to the center of the Earth, from which blows the gust of cancellation. In the distance, like the train's whistle, out of the dream-strafed countryside beyond Jesse's window, the singing of in his head grows louder the farther the train round's Vegas's nuclear id, where the flesh of the world is tattooed with light.

one time i was loitering and out of nowhere i got picked up by a ufo and fucked with by aliens. They were blasting a Zeppelin song about hobbits or some shit really loud, and when I asked them to turn it down they ignored me. Then they made me drink a single bottle of Heineken. I did. It wasn't great, they didn't have it at the right temperature. Then they handed me a tiny aluminum bar and told me to swallow it. I did, and they just waited for a few minutes like something was supposed to happen, but nothing did. They let me go after that. The next day I puked up the aluminum bar when I went out in the morning for a smoke. I still don't know what those fucking guys' angle was
