| Well, morning Sam
|
| Like a bad-luck planet in today’s horoscope, here’s the ol' hippie hating mad
|
| dog himself in the flesh
|
| Lieutenant detective Christian F. «Bigfoot» Bjornsen
|
| John Wayne walk, a flattop of Flintstone proportions and a shit evil twinkle in
|
| his eye that says 'civil rights violation'
|
| At Playa Vista High, Shasta made Class Beauty in the yearbook four years
|
| running, always got to be the ingenue in school plays, fantasized like
|
| everybody else about getting into the movies, and soon as she could manage it
|
| was off up the freeway looking for some low-rent living space in Hollywood.
|
| Doc, aside from being just the only doper she knew who didn’t use heroin,
|
| which freed up a lot of time for both of them, had never figured out what else
|
| she might’ve seen in him. |
| Not that they were even together that long.
|
| Soon enough she was answering casting calls and getting some theater work,
|
| onstage and off, and they each gradually located a different karmic thermal
|
| above the megapolis, gliding each into a different fate
|
| Back when they were together, she could go weeks without anything more
|
| complicated than a pout
|
| Now she was laying some heavy combination of face ingredients on Doc that he
|
| couldn’t really read at all
|
| Does it ever end?
|
| Of course it does
|
| It did |
