All of us are idiots.
I am composed of thousand points of lights. I walk among the divine and the savage. Here I am, now thin and lean, slightly less pale, and young- walking down these numbered avenues with a blue umbrella. I feed on $1.25 Vietnamese sandwiches and rely on the sustenance of $7 pints of whiskey. I smoke with relish. Unashamed, I light up spliffs in the middle of town, and cough gregariously. Everyone senses my vitality, and my dark cloud of sentience.
One native, holding a half-carved piece of two-by-four and a dulled razor, mumbles toward me, "Please, I have two pennies, I wanna, I wanna carve this. Need a new razor." Miraculously, I have a box cutter (with fresh razor) in my pocket. "Here, let me see it when you're finished.", I hand him the box-cutter and amble off, joint in mouth. I feel good in the selfish acknowledgement of a good deed done. [None of us are innocent, see The Fall for confirmation.]
And, yes, we are all idiots.
