[B]Simplicity[/B]
What has been particularly lacking in my life up to now is simplicity. Little by little I am beginning to change. For instance, I always go out with my bed now and when a
woman pleases me, I take her and go to bed with her immediately. If her ears are ugly and large, or her nose, I remove them along with her clothes and put them under the bed, for her to take back when she leaves; I keep only what I like.
If her underthings would improve by being changed, I change them immediately. This is my gift. But if I see a better-looking woman go by, I apologize to the first and make her disappear at once. People who know me claim that I am incapable of doing
what I have just described, that I haven't enough spunk. I once thought so myself, but that was because I was not then doing everything just as I pleased. Now I always have excellent afternoons. (Mornings I work.)
[I]Henri Michaux[/I]
