"ZIGZAGS, SILVERFLASH, DEADROADS, & RED ROSES (this show goes to all of them, none of them & whatever was there before)

dear lover, was it rain or raining? in the time distance phenomena...my memory gets blurred... JOHNNY: i have to write you this cuz if i couldn't tell you, i don't know what i'd do. Out in the midwest,you know.. there is a certain kind of wind... it blows tornados, railroads...and the sky changes there in an instant. Did you see it that day before the storm came? it was green, then black, then grey...then in a flash.Silver.....and then the movies : SUBTRACTION : the act, operation,or instance of subtracting; as a:
the withdrawing ADDITION is : 1: a part added (as to a builing or residential section) 2: INCREASE:

"So let us start with the average,stupid, representative case: Johnny Yen the Other Half, errand boy from the death trauma - Now look I'm going to say it and I'mgoing to say it slow - Death is orgasm is rebirth is death in the orgasm is their unsanitary  Venusian gimmick is the whole birth death cycle of action - You got it?- Now do you understand who Johnny Yen is ? The Boy-Girl Other Half strip tease God of sexual frustration - Errand boy from the death trauma - His immorality depends on the morality of others "
(W.Lee)

It echos like the trash blows

Dear Edward,
Congratulations on the addition. A new city, I'm honored..  You picked me to be the first show.
I'll call this one :The W.Lee Prints #1-10: For Silverflash and Deadroads.
It's for them, but for a whole lot more really, its my homecalling, the Place-Of-All Show.
It's where I'm going and where I came from. I added subtracted, pushed to the edge, Then it all fell off. Zig Zag Movies, Prints. Imagining the Mother and the Earth (PudovkinDovzhenko)

That's the story and I'm sticking to it.
I hope you enjoy the show."
