Legacy 051 -Virgil TALES, B’s Matter-

Hey Lady Sophia,
Let me tell you a story… And I have neither the time nor desire to go back forty-two years. 15, 10, 1?

15 years with my Braxton? He’s already got a book out, and only one copy has ever been sold… To myself. Plus, he’s a whole other story. So is his brother. What’s up with Virgil?

As if he’s a problem. No, my problem is I’ve wasted my whole damn existence. But 15 of those years have been spent at the Day Job, “The Bad Place,” as my boys would bark.

Lady Sophia, it hits you, you know, 2011-2026. When I read that, I didn’t see an achievement. I saw a tombstone. I read the time on the clock; I see the tiny tot who wants his Dad’s attention, and the terrific woman who even now is texting me. Ignoring all!

Why? If writing paid bills…

“Pinch me, pinch me
‘Cause I’m still asleep
Please, God, tell me
That I’m still asleep.”
Barenaked Ladies ‧ 2000

“If you’re doing it for money or fame, don’t do it. If you’re doing it because you want women in our bed, don’t do it”

I’ll have to disagree with Charles Bukowski’s take on things from “So You Want To Be A Writer”? Yes, Lady Sophia, like Art Barker, “Look, I’m a religious fella. I ain’t ashamed to admit it. I’m here for the money.” Fame and fortune, if you want my two cents, Sophia.

You would be the only one. “Nickels for my thoughts, dimes in my bed. Quarters of the kush shape the lines in my head.” “Successful.” Nobody’s listening to Drake anymore.

But what about The Band Perry: “A penny for my thoughts, oh no, I’ll sell ’em for a dollar
They’re worth so much more after I’m a goner.” Again, 15 years but 10 spent writing.

Lessons, Episodes, Logs, Gospels, Chronicles, Sagas, Tales, Meditations, Journeys, Legacies.

So why haven’t I made it? Because the truth matters. In a way, I relate to MAGA. It’s like putting lipstick on a pig, as I was trying to tell the Magic Glasses/MIMA. You can’t separate Will’s Writings, Witticisms, and Wisdom from The Unfinished Archive.

Honestly, it’s all me. “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.” And if I only ever focused on the good… Hell, that’s an ant colony/habit. A few days ago, the Magic Glasses/MIMA said I built a literal palace of pain for my son and am trying to fill it with good things, Sophia. Namely yabbos. M Anime’s? One year ago she broke up with me only for us to reconcile 5 months later. But good stories… Virgil TALES, B’s Matter
