Alternative Beginning, the Introduction Re-Written
He had a first floor apartment, this old guy who lived in his building, Lude told me while I was looking for a new apartment. Actually, Lude had told me about the old man a month or so before.
Excedrin Pms, Melatonin, L-tryptophan, Valium, Vicodin.
I still get nightmares. I'm so tired. I was promptly evicted. No one ever really gets used to nightmares. I could have put up a fight but the place was a nuthouse anyway and I was glad to leave.
Excedrin Pms, Melatonin, L-tryptophan, Valium, Vicodin, I should be used to them by now.
Inevitable, I suppose, as it turned out, a 757 had crashed into it. Burnt the place to the ground a week later. Sleep's been stalking me for too long to remember. I'm not looking forward to Charles de Gaulle convincing me that the thought of a 757 landing on me was not at all disagreeable.
Excedrin Pms, Melatonin, L-tryptophan, Valium, Vicodin, quite a few members of the barbital family.
shots of bourbon, a few lung rasping bong hits, sometimes even the vaporous confidence-trip of cocaine. Anything to curb the fear. Every pill imaginable, but there's no lab sophisticated enough yet to synthesize the kind of chemicals I need.
My friend Lude woke me up at three in the morning and asked if I had heard the phone ring, I was stunned by this announcement, but sleep's been stalking me for too long to remember why.
I still get nightmares of Charles de Gaulle. In fact I get them so often I should be used to them by now. I'm not. Excedrin Pms, Melatonin, L-tryptophan, Valium, Vicodin. None of it helped.
Lude, Charles de Gaulle, none of it helped. Excedrin Pms, Melatonin, L-tryptophan, Valium, Vicodin.
No one really gets used to nightmares, but the place was a nuthouse anyway, I'd been in the throes of looking for sleep, but I couldn't find it in Charles de Gaulle's apartment. Besides, a 757 crashed into it.
I keep taking Excedrin Pms, Melatonin, L-tryptophan, Valium, Vicodin and burn the place down. It helps.
