The Fabulous Bel-Aire
It’s a Holiday today, “National No Pants” Day, or something, so I couldn’t go to the library or Club 84 to email CanAm Social, they are doing my marketing, so I walked to the Bel-Aire Motel. The Bel Aire Motel is my Sodom and Gomorrah. It’s where I used to go to get high or […]

Scrooge McDuck Tell-All
Well today I saw a pair of underwear on the sidewalk. I was going to pick them up, and wash them, they looked about my size. But then I thought, “What if I got home, realized I lost my underwear, tried tracing my steps backwards to when I last remembered having them on, and they […]

To Bee or not to Bee
There was a strange new message on my answering machine when I got home. I had to listen to it two or three times the guy spoke so indistinctly. And this is what the man said: “Hello this message is for Robert Manary. Ahhhh, Mr. Manary, I’m a supervisor with the National Benefit Authority. Ahhhh, […]

Reference Library ($34 FMV!) I also […]
Good news, more good news, so let’s go all the Whey!
How can I live such a lavish and extravagant lifestyle I’m sure some of you are asking? Or what the heck is ODSP and CPP that I have mentioned a couple times. I am the recipient of a monthly stipend from the Canada Pension Plan and the Ontario Disability Support Program. I won’t get into […]

Manary the musical, starring Chan and Washington
I think I have found my own voice in regards to Burroughs “cut-up” method. Stylistically poem17: “rocky mountain high” is much different from my previous “cut-up” works. And in that vein you can see the poems from poem17 onward mark my embrace of this new found voice. I just finished my first cigarette of the […]

Up in Smoke, and My Cable Box Plays Hard to Get
The hardest thing about being a non-smoker is not having a cigarette. At close to midnight I walked to a friend’s, on feet that didn’t want to go, and bummed a couple cigarettes. I’ve had prouder moments. The above sentence is a little misleading. A couple seems to imply two. I borrowed five. I have […]

Shakespeare, William S. Burroughs and My Tin Foil Hat
You know there is a thin line between looking like a normal, rational person, and looking like someone who perhaps might end up wearing a tin foil hat to ward off alien overloads who might want to read your mind. I might have found that line. A little foreplay first? Amongst my ex-fiancées many unpaid […]
