4686. SIGNIFICANT MEN

SIGNIFICANT MEN
Horace Walpole walking by. Huntz Hall
and Leo Gorcey too. Algernon Swinburne
is serving dinner  -  when Rossetti's peacocks
learn to fly. Now that it's all been wrapped and
sealed, let us acclaim this modern world.
-
'Just because we can blow up the world, by
Jiminy, let's do it!' Oh yeah, that sounded like
fun, like Kruschev's shoe banging on a table,
like Dick Nixon's notion of golf in the sand.
-
The woman in society, subservient to the man;
she calls him a bum, he calls her a whore. Where
can they go when they can't go anymore? 
She's a conveyor for him.
-
You can call me back in twenty-four, but you
should know I never answer the phone. My father
was the king, my mother was the queen, but they
both stayed at home, alone. (You think Life is
truthful, but it's not. It is logical, but never the truth).
