Ulysses


                                  today spitting back gumchewed gristle. French letter still
                                  in my pocketbook. Cause of half the trouble. But might
                                  happen sometime, I don’t think. Come in, all is prepared.
                                  I dreamt. What? Worst is beginning. How they change

                                  the venue when it’s not what they like. Ask you do you
                                  like mushrooms because she once knew a gentleman who.
                                  Or ask you what someone was going to say when he
                                  changed his mind and stopped. Yet if I went the whole
                                  hog, say: I want to, something like that. Because I did. She
                                  too. Offend her. Then make it up. Pretend to want
                                  something awfully, then cry off for her sake. Flatters them.
                                  She must have been thinking of someone else all the time.
                                  What harm? Must since she came to the use of reason, he,
                                  he and he. First kiss does the trick. The propitious
                                  moment. Something inside  them goes pop. Mushy like,
                                  tell by their eye, on the sly. First thoughts are best.
                                  Remember that till their dying day. Molly, lieutenant
                                  Mulvey that kissed her under the Moorish wall beside the
                                  gardens. Fifteen she told me. But her breasts were
                                  developed. Fell asleep then. After Glencree dinner that
                                  was when we drove home. Featherbed mountain.
                                  Gnashing her teeth in sleep. Lord mayor had his eye on
                                  her too. Val Dillon. Apoplectic.
