Melissa was a friend. She is in the more modern sense. Cynically speaking. I never see or hear her, none of the five senses.
I heard Britain was that way. You never really see your friends. But I don't mean it that way. Wished I could see her for a long time after I made her mad. Melissa was like me in one respect. She grew up going to church. She loved hers and I had to go to my church, listen to the church organ tuned to the same D sound week after week, month after month after month. It was not a very good organ. What a croc that was. A great big excuse. I sat and listened to Methodist theology. Pure theology. Meant nothing to me or anyone else. Very stiff. Which church? Who cares. Melissa said her church was fun. Real ascension and not a metaphysical bore. Melissa said someone spoke through her. She said the whole congregation was in a frenzy. That was when she was young. She said she stopped going a year or so before I met her because she felt guilty.
I met Melissa down in South Carolina. She was moving up here. She did move up here and lived about 30 minutes from me. Don't look at me like that. Why I am being mysterious, well there are a variety of reasons. When I smoked dope I was with some guys. One said that you are not paranoid if they are really after you. You are not paranoid if you are on the Wild, Wild, Web and think somebody is watching you. It's their job. Besides, the watchdog groups are there to just agitate you and me. Unless you are committing one of 57 different real crimes. So who bothers to watch the rest of us. The Treasury Department is one. The Feds.
What that has to do with Melissa is Melissa loved me but Melissa loved everybody. Melissa said I was special. The other guys got massages with happy endings. Our relationship, a word she didn't allow, did not have a happy ending. Rodney Dangerfield said it. His hooker said it was over between them. There's no happy endings. I am OCD and made problems. I don't have to take a test to prove I am. When the psychologists decided I was OCD, and also addicted to everything I enjoy(AP) they noticed I am not a workaholic. Took the P.H.D.'s a long time to get to that malady.
