conversations w/marvin # 15 - vice/sage after ( after a.d.
)
" do you like this disguise?"
" do you like this disguise?"
i asked marvin feeling like a puppeteer
pulling his strings
"don't broadcast any more of your
"don't broadcast any more of your
artificial life to me'" he snarled
standing frozen by his reaction
standing frozen by his reaction
i saw that our conversations
had begun to vanished
around the mental bend influencing plants
around the mental bend influencing plants
as well as
influencing
marvin's movements & thought
"i've been specializing in the indeterminate end of the earth
& i thought i'd ask you how you felt about this subject" - i
explained
while lying on the couch we had found on the street
"interview me? for what?"
marvin spewed, his mouth full of sweets
i took off my mask & loosened my grip on
his strings. he sagged foward & fell into a rose bush
beside the fire hydrant. i lay back down on the couch.
closed up shop for the afternoon.
