Dead Politicians, Live Poets

Blinking in front of video camera is becoming old hat to me. A representative of a local television station came to my office today to ask me a few questions for another station, in another Texas city. It has become routine for me. Except for-wondering whether the broadcast version will make me look like a beached whale. Not that the cameraman can control that.

Things are going haywire with some of my clients. It won't be long, if things go as they have been going, before they are unable to pay me. Not my fault, but certainly my concern. If only I could coordinate the copier lease, the telephone system contract, the office space lease, etc., I'd just slowly prepare to ease out of this mess. But things aren't so smooth. So, I guess I'll have to pursue more business, try to fix what I have, and reconsider the contracts we enter. Excuse me, but I'm going to utter a profanity: God damn mother fucker! I wish I had more control over the world. There would be fewer live polititians and more living poets.

Thanks, isabelita and Kathy, for your comments on my attempt to capture Spanish for my own private uses. Quiero vivir en un mundo hermoso. Si los deseos fueron caballos, todos nosotros tendrĂ­amos alas.

My mother used to say that. Well, OK, not in Spanish.
