Patient Gives Advice To His Psychoanalyst

________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

 

Doctor Raft

 

I am deeply

impressed

with your photographs

of

THE BIG SKY

and 

your new home

in Montana 

after 

abandoning

a lifetime 

of sunshine

in Florida

with 

 its 1001

tennis courts

 

But

what impressed me 

more

were photographs

of you

wading

in the water,

fishing for trout

 

THEREFORE

I demand

you read

the book

I have sent 

you

 

There are authors

to satisfy

every

literary

(or non-literary)

taste

people may have

 

BUT

only one author

can be recommended

to people

who 

[for justifiable reasons]

no longer read

books

 _____________

_________

 

Richard Brautigan's

imagination

is not

at the head

(or foot)

of the table

peopled by

the greatest writers

throughout history

 

Richard's imagination

is

under that table

tickling everyone

seated above

while they attempt

to do so 

with a straight

face,

suppressing 

laughter/tears/profundity

they 

didn't know existed

 

 

Enjoy  the gift
