A STRANGE EXISTENCE......

LIVING LIKE THIS IS A STRANGE WAY TO LIVE......I LIVE FOR THE PHONE CALLS.....IT'S LIKE I'M ALMOST NON-EXISTANT...I LIVE IN SOME STRANGE PLACE....LIKE ANOTHER DIMENSION IN TIME.  TRY AS I MAY, I CAN'T HELP TO LOOK FORWARD FOR THE DAY TO BEGIN, AND THE DAY TO END.  I LIVE IN MY OWN EXISTANCE, YOU SEE.  I AM UNLIKE YOU.  BUT IT'S OKAY..IT'S CALLED DEVOTION AND LOVE.  I ONLY WAIT FOR JIMMY TO COME HOME.  I KEEP THE HOUSEHOLD GOING.  I FEED THE 2 CATS AND DOG...I WALK PRINCE.  I MAKE SURE THEY ARE WELL-FED AND HAPPY.  I MAINTAIN OUR HOME...IN BALANCE AND HARMONY...AND I WRITE!  I LOVE TO WRITE!  I MAILED 5 SHORT STORIES TODAY, AND LATER I'M WRITING A "LETTER TO THE EDITOR " ABOUT THE PRISON SYSTEM.  WRITING IS WHAT KEEPS ME GOING. IT CLEARS MY MIND...KEEPS MY ENERGIES FOCUSED.  ALLOWS ME TO EXPRESS MYSELF.  I HAVE WRITTEN 4 CHAPTERS OF A FICTIONAL NOVEL I AM WRITING.  I HAVE GOTTEN 3 POEMS PUBLISHED, AND A LETTER TO THE EDITOR IN A LOCAL NEWSPAPER, ABOUT TREATMENT OF THE BLIND, WHEN OUT IN PUBLIC.  THE BEST IS, JIMMY AND I HAVE WRITTEN A TRUE STORY WHICH WILL BE PUBLISHED IN A WELL-KNOWN MAGAZINE IN THE MARCH 2004 EDITION.  WE ARE VERY EXCITED ABOUT IT. OUR PIX WILL APPEAR AND THE STORY IS ILLUSTRATED.  IT WAS A DREAM COME TRUE, WHEN THE EDITOR IN MANHATTAN CALLED ME AND SAID.."WE'VE BEEN SITTING HERE AT MY DESK WAITING FOR A STORY LIKE YOURS TO COME IN.  THOUSANDS OF STORIES PASS THROUGH MY DESK EACH MONTH, BUT YOURS IS SPECIAL." WE ARE STILL BOTH WALKING ON AIR, AND FEEL TOTALLY BLESSED BY THIS. WELL, I GUESS YOU ARE WONDERING WHAT CRIME JIMMY COMMITTED.  I WON'T KEEP YOU IN SUSPENCE ANY LONGER!  IT IS A COMMON CRIME IN OUR COUNTRY.  HE IMPORTED 800 LBS. OF MARAJUANA. NOW, HERE IS THE BIGGEST JOKE.  ARE YOU READY TO HEAR THIS? JIMMY HAS NEVER SMOKED, TAKEN DRUGS, AND DOESN'T DRINK.  WE LAUGH..HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT POT IS LIKE.....I SAid "AT LEAST YOU SHOULD HAVE TRIED IT ONCE, BEFORE GETTING ARRESTED! NO, HE NEVER HAS, AND NEVER WILL. THE WHOLE WORLD SMOKES POT, AND IT IS NO SECRET.  HOWEVER, WE ARE UNDER CLOSE OBSERVATION, SO WE REALLY CAN'T EVEN JOKE ABOUT THIS.  IT IS NO JOKE..IT IS SERIOUS. IT IS A CRIME IN THIS COUNTRY, AND THAT'S THAT.  NO TWO WAYS ABOUT IT..YOU JUST FOLLOW THE LAWS.
