Lady Day & the Prez. Do u remember this scene from Joe Dirt, when he first met Brandy? Her dog Charlie, his scrotum... Joe heard his cry! The sack(?), which in fact, was frozen to the front porch, oh my gosh! I remember, but more important, I’m an explorer n my life. Today, my mind thought,”hmmm, that one scene, what if?” I’m in Kansas City now and the weathers not bitter cold, rather, sweltering might be the word. I was getting in my car & saw some grayish black asphalt. An oxymoron is a rhetorical device that uses an ostensible self-contradiction to illustrate a rhetorical point or to reveal a paradox. A more general meaning of a “contradiction in terms.” Not sure this word culls this experience, Ralph Waldo Emerson said though that the Law of Cause and Effect is the “law of laws". In some fantastical way, I’m now free associating this summer time experience with George Gershwin, I’m seeing images of friendship between Lady Day and Prez. Billie singing about summertime, & the Prez exclaiming, just cream and scream. Today, the summertime heat caused me to scream, as my nut sack became skin cream on a downtown, parking lot. I’m just home from laughter at the ER.
