And I say to you all these things will pass from the world and forever in this world will remain the longing. SO LONG WONDERFUL ATHEIST I read Bukowsky so long my friend hope you have discovered there's life after the tomb the horses the women and the wine and I say to myself what's a guy like me who believes in the coming of the messiah and the reconstruction of the temple doing reading Bukowsky and it reminds me of a poet friend who used to read Elliot in the synagogue Elliot may be ok but Bukowsky... yes, it is coming I prefer one Bukowsky a German guy telling the truth naked to a thousand rabbis discussing the Kashrout of a cucumber And immediately after saying it I feel Tremendous guilt. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- uXu #418 Underground eXperts United 1998 uXu #418 Call INTERNATIONAL INFORMATION RETRIEVAL GUILD -> telnet iirg.org ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
