Jasper
the party in the spectacular Rocky Mountain
tourist town
-- the real party -- began at 1 a.m.
waitresses, chambermaids, some of
the locals
drove to the lake
took a stereo out of someone's van, set it up, made a bonfire
a little before 2, the guys in the band drove up
some bartenders
a little
MDA, a little hash
acid --
blotter, blue-check, sunshine --
colors, shapes, terrors, ecstasies
... all in one little tab
(telescope to the time)
the rest of the barmaids and bouncers show up
some girls dance, bass guitar throbs,
cavewomen worship fire ...and tall, hard shadows
You bring beer? ...I thought you were ...we could get in serious shit drinking other guys' beer ...Stop
sweating man! Geez, you're a downer! Serious for breakfast, lunch, and
dinner.
Hey Tom, sing something. Sing Behind Blue Eyes. Now that's genius, hey T.?
Where's Barry? ...closing, doing cash. He'll be here
in half an hour. What do you want? ...Colette can't find a vein ...Well, she'll just have to wait.
Where's Jer? ...with that brunette from Ontario
...What? Bangin'?
...probly like rabbits, sand in panties tells all.
You guys are all insane. There's nothing
here that's worth this ...this
what? ...This fucking away your
life ...so what is it you think
we should be doing? ...get on with life. I don't know. Not this. This is mindless ...I am getting on with life. Your
twenties come only once man ...Ah,

yourself
...yeah, man. That's it. I wish I was me.
Helen's pissed ...on wine? ...nah, got into Jim's tequila ...Woah, where is she? ...disappeared. So has
James ...What? That bastard. Gets there before me ...Billy, you couldn't raise a hard-on with a
crane. You're too pissed ...Screw you. Shut up.

Some fine Panama Red ...Panama
Papers!
Just go and sit beside him, Coral. He'll
talk to you. You don't have to think of anything cool to say
...Oh, Tami, I can't!
She is really in love with you, you know. She never did it until you.
Hey! HEY!! Don't throw beer bottles in the
lake. Brilliant! Just fucking brilliant! Yeah, I'm telling you! Someday you're
going to come back here with your kids and be sickened by what you just did.
Don't tell me to shut up, you little cocksucker!!
No! Brian NO! You are not layin' a
shit-kicking on that punk.
Shut that crap off! Didn't anybody bring
Neil Young?
What's the matter now? Where are you goin'? You can't walk back to town. It's twenty six miles.
Nuts. This is all insane. Beer, drugs, and
mindless bullshit!
Fuck you,
Einstein! Go home then! Who the hell invited you?!
They all want it man. Irregardless of what they say.
How long have we known each other, man?
Have I ever let you down?
Too bad you can't give it to us, asshole.
And "irregardless" isn't even a word.

car!
