Sex, Drugs and Histrionics

  • In a small group of rooms, all dark wood and bed-like shelves. I catch glimpses of sexual activity in the shadows while I talk with a girl who reminds me of an old bisexual friend.

  • With Allen and Nicole, we are running on a black-sand beach just after sunset, trying to evade pursuers. We duck into a rocky inlet, climb over the wet boulders and hide in the shadows beneath the cliff. We train our gun sights on the stretch of sand we just crossed, waiting for the enemy to appear. My breath fogs whitely in front of my face.

  • I'm visiting my friend Lianna after a long time apart. We've gotten really stoned and are now sprawled on the couch, making intellectual conversation. After a while, I get up for a minute to retrieve something from her room and feel a little strange while moving about. When I'm back on the couch, I tell her that my "histrionics" took me from my mind world into my body world. We talk about psychedelic drugs and as she talks I remind myself that I want to tell her about my last shroom trip. She tells me that she just bought a new glass pipe and has been smoking more pot than ever recently. She laughs something that I don't catch but I think I hear the word "valium". I tell her it's good to see her and we embrace in a hug for a long time.

  • I see the cover of a book and a narrative voice explains it. It has an evil looking painting of a face on the front: half-man half-leopard. The voice tells me that this is Gora's (?) occult classic. The first half of the book is Gora's biography (as I see moving images of women working on a military base during World War II, and a fold-out aerial photograph of the entire base). The second half is Gora's esoteric masterpiece.

I like it!
