EVEN BEFORE COVID...AND AIDS, BEFORE THAT...AND EVERYTHING ELSE THAT CULLS AND ISOLATES US......





For whatever 'reasons'.....or does 'reason' have anything to do with it.......even basically 'a bit anti-social' types, like myself, have received invitations to Spring 'gatherings' and 'events'........loquacious or just reverberative loud 'social groupings' of primates with clannishly mutual 'interests' that seem to be much more content and satisfied when in large groups.....some, in very large groups....concerts....even packed movie houses.....shopping centers.....weekend supermarkets.......fireworks and sporting events....'theme' parks....cocktail parties and 'Art' openings.....cacophonic, Woodstock-like outdoor music and theater events........and crowded juke joints.......Sometimes, but not 'always', I long for a close, very personal relationship....the kind where we primates pick off one another's fleas and ticks, massage aching muscles or just engage in more meaningful conversation while watching the clouds roll by, overhead........So, some pejoratively call me 'anti-social', because that kind of life has and has never been very appealing........Give me an amitiƩ amoureuse....or two, or three.......wherein we can look reassuringly into one another's eyes and hearts.....without the fear of impending combat.......and find some real cortical connections beneath the casual superficialities and defensive superciliousness.....
