Aught, no. 11/12 (2003)
Michael Ruby / Inner Voices Heard Before Sleep
28
You don't have to get attacked by one of these segments
The preferential treatment
Bar
sales, including—
Power position in the city
Caught
with his Rob Roy
I don't know why he wouldn't
He
asks you what's in it
You don't know what it means
Icing
on the soup
Say something
Just
tell me
A sweet breeze
A
white niece
In a traffic mansion
Holding on for dear life
OK
Okalay
76
singers
To eat?
She said me
That's so funny
We
had those periods
They don't—carefully—sleep
The
attorney general
Did Douglas?
They say it could be nice
That's
right, you won't get a job
Cuz otherwise—
I'll
try to
Let me do it, OK?
It really doesn't suit you
He
might know a story
I know somebody who's going to—
It
really is
Sounds terrible
I'm
ready to move somewhere
Somewhere—exciting to—me
Cuz
here
You can't do something
For me, anyway
I
have my bell ring to listen to
My bell ring's a mess
She usually left her tickets there
She
catered to you
You were just stuck
With this
I've
been trying to take him to his cell and dorm room upstairs and see if
he could take his basement
They're the last person to call
They
might be trying to tell you, no matter what
For instance
Animals and music and all that
It's
all right
It's a mineral matter
There's
two batters
And a position
And pharmaceuticals
Clean
out the study
Get me out of here
You reached back and started over
He's
over 18 now
He doesn't need a TV
Or assistance
Disturbingly
So that's good
This
isn't the curious lady
This is the difficult one
You
seem too upset
You certainly—certainly do
Our
money is so obsessive—
Such human
It
wasn't such a great system
It was all fiction
He's like on another line right now
Chris, care to be the star?
And have to put on double uniforms
It
ain't easy
To use another management
Yo
You want to stay on top
I see what you want to do now
Of
the single East, I'll send you
If you don't want—
No,
it's not black
It's not a lethal guard
It can't be
What
kind of work?
A spot on August 19
She's
gonna come back again
She comes on Sunday
Three
Four
One
Bobby
Assistant
Baby Tillis
A
positive
For us
Sighting him
New York
Available for six thirty
You know, Bo, speak up
There's
nothing wrong with him now
Today united
Nothing wrong with him now?
Feet up the basement floor
So is Andy
A
little bit
I chase him for once
You got the answer
Less
pita bowl
Three dozen sklat?
Overtime
on me
On his thesis
To tell me
