And if he's Father Guido, I'm Sister Wendy.....come with me while I show you the
wonders of light in this Vermeer in the corner, here, and do not do away with
yourself dear, lest you lose out on all this discourse on art, politics, life.
Live, Live, Live. Make us a stamp, dear, have a purpose.
Oh, whoops, that reminds me, Possums! any stamp submissions must be sent to me,
Sister Windy, by Cinqo de Mayo, 5/5/00 for the FluxStamp Project. (with
apologies to your suicide proclivities, Best Poet, and even further apologies to
going from Sister Wendy to Dame Edna, but now you're too confused to do yourself
in perhaps, and, well, it's late).
Grins,
PK
