Life and Books
-Thoreau was right. Have a sparse place. Easy to clean
without the dusty knickknacks. Thus, your mind clean also.
-I’d go along, but would add a woman.
-Ever met one not cluttered?
-Nope.
-Case closed!
-How ‘bout a man?
-Do you swing that way in addition?
-I mean for companionship. You’re projecting awful lonely!
-The only trouble there would be attitudes. These muck, certainly.
-So be a clean hermit in a clean cabin? Like, totally alone?
-That’s the way to do it.
-Can I make it Disney, with racoons and rabbits coming for
din-din? And Bambi making goo-goo eyes?
-We’re getting far afield!
-Nice country around there, and all the people warm--if not
necessarily spotless.
-You’re simply not one for Thoreau then?
-He lives in a book.
