In Medias Res

An epic convention, means

starting in the middle, like

The Iliad and the Odyssey.

Yes, that's always where we

start, otherwise, there would

be no hospitals to receive us

out of the womb, no matter that

they were playing the blues 

while we were being born.

How much time does it take to

get hip to the trip, to get right

with the scene?

I had a good upper middle class

place to grow up in and begin to 

look around. My parents, because 

they were from before, tried to keep

it together while it was slowly begining

to break down.

My father, one of the "Best Generation"

was totally cool, except wrong time, 

wrong place to bring us up in suburbia,

which was soon to be a bad deal.

Sometimes you wonder; "How much time

do I have left?" I think it's how you measure 

it.....coffee spoons or, pitchforks?
