++ The Emperor's New Clothes was the Theater Piece Sissa's troupe was working when I bussed through Austin on my way up here. So I thought about that story a lot.

>> 'Empire of the Air' of the Air came out '91 and was published by HarperCollins at 10 E. 53rd when I was at Michael's at 2- W. 55th.

## A 'binky' is, among other things, a noun denoting a 'pacifier'. Which is a fake nipple. Nipples is what Topless Girls Reading Veblen display. Most of the Eighties you couldn't see no nipple on the street. Nipples were the monopoly of magazines and titty bars.

$$ Maybe the reason we call 'pacifiers' 'binkys' is cos once upon a time the most powerful radio station in all the world broadcasting a program of prophecy and hillbilly drone, ripping the aether with one million burning Watts of power, beamed itself at the universe from Lunaazul Mexico right across the border from Dos Passos Texas and was the creation of Dr. Ernest Bienke whose lieutenant Beagle Zilchard was a thumbsucker. Why not?

%% And Zip Coon came to me and said: "Again? I told you boy to stay your tongue. The Emperor ain't so ugly and it ain't the way of society to coddle truth tellers. Reflect sugar: When this fashion trickle down to your grade and neighborhood ain't you gonna say 'Ol' Zip Coon, you is a Learned Scholar'?"

&& The thing about Guns, and Cars, and Suits ain't the poison come out of them but the way they get up in your head and keep you from being able to think. When Koo got tired it was that gun in his head he got tired of. You know, I wear a suit pretty good. I can drive pretty much any car you put in front of me. I'm from Texas. I don't think you want to bet against my firearm ability anything you hold dear. Guns and Cars and Suits any sillyass Square can master. They're embarrassing.

8~8 8~8 A girl I worked with at Michael's I heard her Poppa passed and we are hoping it wasn't too hard though it's always hard enough. I was working at Michael's when my Poppa died in 94 and his first two wives sent all his six children out to see him and his poor third wife. Daddy a trip and take that poor girl out to Washington where she figuring on something scenic and he lands them in Centralia. Daddy had a genius for slums. We out there and one day I go: "damn honey, this is Poisonville."

//\//\/ this is the empire of dr. bienke.
