I’m a young girl. Runaway and scared. My new adopted name is Starr. I love the Beatles. I have on embroidered jeans and a sweatshirt. On my way to Woodstock by thumb. On the way I meet Bob. Fall right in love. Bad things happen to me. Great things happen to me. I’m confused and excited at the same time. I do not take the brown acid. Weed is fun. No pills. Think I’ll cook up a baby. Find a dog. His name is Boone. Tie dye teeshirts. And sell them. Peace, baby! ---

Everything in the universe is… is… is made of one element, which is a note, a single note. Atoms are really vibrations, you know, which are extensions of THE BIG NOTE. Everything’s one note. Everything, even the ponies. The note, however, is the ultimate power, but see, the pigs don’t know that, the ponies don’t know that. Right? ---

We’re all living on a commune, mostly in tents (we’ll eventually build something resembling a house, but we haven’t done it yet. I think we did already have the disintegrating old trailer.) One night, some of the neighborhood young men show up and try to start a fight, but none of us will fight back. Two or three of us run half a mile down the road to the nearest neighbor to try to get help, because we’re seriously afraid they’re going to beat up people. When we all get back there (I can’t remember whether the cops came or just the neighbors did), things have calmed down, and nobody actually got hurt. True story. I could tell a batch more. I like the one about the day we were walking down the road carrying axes, but I think I’ve told it somewhere on these boards already. ---
