MONOLOGUE for SELF TAPE:

“What a bore to sit there and take bennies all night and with their fucking face stuck in a bunch of books and their thumb up their asses! Oh yes yes I remember the time it was all very inspiring and and enlightening, all this history and literature and sociology shit! You’d think learning is a really big thing and you become his big fucking intellectual and sit around trying to out intellectual all the other fuckin’ intellectuals! You spend years with your nose buried in these goddamn tombs! while the world is passing you bye; all this stuff to see, and all the kicks, and all the girls, are out there. And me a writer, and a poet who should be having adventures and experience, and all the diversities and paradoxes and ironies of life.”
