JAFFER;  A SPINLESS MAN AFRAID TO EXPRESS ANY OPINION IN CASE HE OFFENDS
                  THE POWERFUL, SO HE STAYS INVISIBLE...

IBSA: (In babylon souls alone AND INSA: (In NJ souls alone.

SOMEHOW?

What is the meaning of this vague word,

SOMEHOW?

Things have to happen somehow...

Somehow they got to Babylon

And left you in NJ

Wasn't that your town once?

No, it was my sister's...my sister Ibsa was born in Babylon

I was born in NJ

Babylon belonged to my sister

What belongs to your sister, belongs to you...

Babylon was yours

Now it's not...

Go and claim it

How?

Somehow, I don't know...tell them to get the hell out...

But they will tell me to get  the hell out of NJ

So get the hell out of NJ, no big deal

Where do I go?

Go to Babylon

They won't let me in

Tell them you were born there

No, it was my sister Ibsa.  Ibsa is Babylon but not of Babylon at the same time.

She lives at an ancient cemetry...where the insects crawl all over the graves but

at least she has company.  The ancient insects are more loyal then the modern people.

Listen Injsa, forget about sad things.  Forget about sad places. Go back to NY.

Isn't NY the place where happy people live?  Happy because it's the city where everyone gets

awards? By the way did you get your Obie?

 INJSA: Oh! Ibsa, for Centuries old person, you have a great memory.

When you lived in NY you talked about it for 30 years.  Did you get it?

INJSA: Oh! they decided to give it to me last year but then the village voice lost its business

IBSA: What's village voice?

INJSA:  It was a news paper.  A free news paper...

IBSA: A news paper gave an award?

INJSA: Yes...

IBSA:  Whyied about getting an award, an award with a lousy name from a free news paper the hell

you were so worried about getting an award with a lousy name from a free news paper? A paper

which couldn't even sustain its own business...

INJSA:  Oh! every one was getting it, so I didn't want to be excluded...

IBSA:  Injsa, if you are going to have pain of exclusion, have the pain of exclusion from Babylon...

I have no place here either, only the cemetries.  I walk around all night looking at the headstones of

my great, great, great ancestors.  I can't move outside of the cemetry, there are guns there...guns and

bombs....and dead people...Babylon is nothing but darkness now, but not for the armies who came

here, they put neon lights and drink their beer...You want to have pain sweetheart, have pain for your

graveyards...You say you perished in Manhattan...you are afraid to go back...maybe you are right.

 Maybe you did perish.. does anyone see you? does any one know you? You are invisible in NJ as

well.

Yoiu are not there either. Maybe you are in Babylon...No one see you.  No one sees me either.

We are as ancient as our graves, as invisible as Babylon. Maybe You are Babylon.

Please do not scare me with your story.  I don't want to know your story.  I do not want to hear your

story.

Your story sounds familiar.  It scares me to death.  How many times you want me to die?

I am not interested.

Go write a happy story

If you can

With a happy ending

Then com back

And then perhaps I will look at it

And make sure there is an angle to the story

The angle to make money

You are in 21st Century

And you are writing about 3BC

Not interested....

And that how it goes and goes

In IBSA'S mind

In  INJSA'S mind

Two twin sister's minds

It goes and goes

It gets around and around and Centuries keep passing...

Success is a ghushti...(Bitch)  Bina Sharif

Tuesday evening with the ghushti, for sure she is and not only a ghushti but a dangerous ghushti.

A leech, a parasite, a flea which bites, an annoyance of utmost irritation, an un-believable low class

ghushti.

Utterly spineless and anesthtized, emptied of all emotions.  ?

Love means having to give others space and freedom.  BS

'NOTHINGNESS"

Put an end to the nothingness of the mornings.  Do it this instance.  Three months of

Un-believable, un-controlable events and now an un-ending loneliness and nothingness

and withdrawl?  Not healthy...If nothing else happens, nothing new and original just put it on the blog

the old stuff written on tons of notbooks collecting dust all over the place.  There might be some

gems in there...you never know..."  BS

"Nothing is harder or more unfair than human reality." ?

"The words and not the deeds which has power." ?

REALITY OF A DREAM

REALITY OF A DREAM

"A NARRATIE QUITE LITERALLY DISJOINTED.

LIKE THOSE DREAMS OR NIGHTMARES THAT

 MAKE SENSE MORE AS TEASING,

TROUBLING POETRY THAN WAKING LOGIC"  Nigel Andrews

I love it..Bina

NO MORE, NEVER MORE....

NO MORE, NEVER MORE

Do not and I say to you strictly, do not expect any favor from any one

In my experience when ever, {which is not so often} any one does a tiny favor for me I have to return it ten or twenty times more than whatever others did for me.  It's just not worth it.

It is a bigger struggle and sacrifice for me to return the shitty favor.
That return actually gets painful, burdonsome and regretable.

No more favors
No more expectations of favors from ANY ONE....
Not worth my time, my money, my emotions, my satisfaction.
NO MORE, NEVER MORE...........

PROMISE?

YES, I PROMISE.

I HAVE TO....

I'TS ALREADY TOO LATE AND TOO EMOTIONALLY DEVASTATING.

PLEASE IF YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT IT, {DON'T YOU WORRY, NO ONE IS THINKING OF DOING YOU A FAVOR} ONLY YOU ARE THINKING OF DOING FAVORS TO OTHERS.

NOW YOU ARE THINKING OF BUYING GODIVE CHOCOLATES FOR PEOPLE FOR THE HOLIDAYS...

NO ONE IS THINKING OF BUYING YOU GODIVA CHOLATES...THAT'S FOR SURE.

DO YOU KNOW OF ANY ONE THINKING OF BUYING YOU GODIVA CHOCOLATES?

NOT THAT I KNOW OF...

SO WHY ARE YOU THINKING OF DOING IT?

I DON'T KNOW WHY?

YOU WANT TO PLEASE PEOPLE TO BE ACCEPTED BY THEM

I DON'T KNOW...MAYBE...

WHY?

I DON'T KNOW...

DON'T DO IT

OK

BUT I KNOW THAT YOU WILL DO IT.  YOU WILL DO IT AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN.

I KNOW YOU ARE GOIG TO BUY PEOPLE GODIVA CHOCOLATES...

IT'S NOT A BAD GESTURE BUT NO ONE IS DOING THAT GESTURE FOR YOU

WHY DO YOU HAVE THE NEED TO DO IT?

IT'S NOT A NEED.  I JUST LIKE TO DO IT...

THAT'S WHAT YOU THINK...

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

YOU ARE A MARTYRE OR A VICTIM

YOU HAVE BECOME A PORTRAIT OF MARTYDOM AND VICTIMHOOD...
OH!

YES, OH!

HORRIBLE, I HATE BOTH OF THOSE TWO WORDS...

THEN STOP...

STOP IT...

TODAY, THIS DAY, DEC 5, 2018 STOP THIS HABIT OF SEEKING APPROVAL

IT'S NOT THAT

WHAT IS IT?

I AM GENEROUS

WHY SHOULD OTHERS NOT BE GENROUS OF YOU?

THEY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ME, TAKE ME FOR GRANTED...

THEN DON'T DO IT, YOU ASS HOLE

YES, I AM AN ASS HOLE...

STILL YOU NEED TO STOP DOING FUCKING FAVORS FOR FUCKING PEOPLE

AND STOP EXPECTING TINY, LITTLE SHITTY FAVORS FROM OTHERS.

THAT'S ALL THEY DO IF THEY DO IT AT ALL...

STOP, STOP, STOP, JUST STOP IT.

DO NOT ALLOW ANY ONE TO DO YOU ANY FAVOR

BUT NOT MANY DO ANY WAY...

BUT YOU EXPECT IT.  YOU EXPECT FAVORS BACK SINCE YOU MINDLESSLY KEEP DOING FUCKING FAVORS FOR THEM AND IT DISTURBS YOU WHEN THEY DON'T RESPECT THE FAVOR YOU DID FOR THEM...

STOP ALL THIS BULLSHIT FROM NOW ON....

I AM YOUR THERAPIST AND I AM SICK AND TIRED OF GIVING YOU ADVICE WHICH I HAVE BEEN GIVING FOR DECADES...AND YOU HAVEN'T CHANGED AT ALL.  ACTUALY YOU ARE GETTING WORSE BY THE DAY...

I AM GOING TO STOP BEING YOUR THERAPIST IF YOU DON'T LISTEN TO ME THIS TIME...YOU HEAR...I AM GOING TO LEAVE YOU TO YORSELF, BY YOUR SELF TO KEEP
REPEATING YOUR MARTYDOM...DO YOU WANT TO AN INSTITUTION?

NO, I DON'T

I DON'T BELIEVE YOU

NO, I DEFINITLY DO NOT WANT TO GO TO AY INSTITUTION.  I AM EXTREMELY SCARED OF INSTITUTIONS.

THEN STOP DOING FAVORS FOR OTHERS AT THE RISK OF THEM DOING ALMOST NOTHING OR VERY LITTLE FOR YOU...........

NO MORE FAVORS BY OTHERS AND NO MORE FAVORS FROM YOUR SIDE.

GOT IT?
YES, GOT IT.

SAY, "NO MORE, NEVER MORE"

OK

SAY IT..

"NO MORE NEVER MORE"

SAY IT AGAIN

OK

SAY IT

"NO MORE, NEVER MORE."

SO MANY PEOPLE

SO MANY PEOPLE

I haven't had any dreams recently because I haven't been sleeping well

but last night I dreamt all night and slept all night, thank god....

I was in this new performance space on first Ave and 9th street

some kind of activity was going on and there were lots and lots of people

People upstairs and people downstairs, all happy and chatting and chatting away

And In my dream I say to myself, "Look, how people are enjoying themselves and how so

many of them have gathered,  and they really look happy... and its right in your own neighborhood

, not very far to go, why don't you remember that these things are in your own neighborhood

and you can also join these people and laugh and not feel lonely which you often do..."

I go upstairs and there are  people enjoyig and I go downstairs and there are people enjoying

people evrywhere...a party I guess....

And then I ask a woman, that I need to see John Magrath....(He is a dear friend and I haven't seen him

for a long time) and she points towards a table where three men are sitting and says, "He is over

there" Oh! my god"  I say.  "John is here"  And I go to that table and he is not John Magrath from

Manchester

And I am so disappointed and then some one is taking a selfie and other photos and I realize

that I am stark naked and some one has already taken a picture.

I am surprised at my situation.  I remeber that I was wearing a black slip dress...

Where is it?  What happened to it?  How come I am naked?  Did I go to the bath room, took my dress

off for some reason and left it there?  I have no Idea...Then I go upstairs.  I am still looking for John

Magrath but can't find him...somehow I don't find things I am fond of so easily. The big hall is full of

people, all happy..."That's amazing"  I say to myself.  Its NY and they are all so happy?"

Amazing...No one notice that I am totally naked except one charming woman who is with her

girl friend and is really enjoying herself.  She says to me, "YU ARE NAKED"  and laughs, she

laughs a lot.  I say to her, "I have no idea how I ended up like this and I am desperately looking or my

dress and can't find it.  She laughs again.  She was a truelly happy person.

She and her girl friend are running around, now going to the basement for some more merriment and

before she leaves she tells me, 'If you want to have fun and lots of wine go to 32 GRAMACY

PLACE.....

AND THEN I WOKE UP....

I MUST GO AND LOOK FOR 32 GRAMACY PARK.....
