| The corner evangelist says
we’re on a hell bound express train to Satan’s domain, and there’re no reservations— first class seating for one and all! Poor Richard is struggling with noise, the essence of dog shit, and car exhaust bonding. He would like to kick the preacher in the balls, but after 25 years of therapy and med checks, he feels his anger issues are now dormant. And this exuberant feeling of having total self-control will not pass as he marches by waving a coal shovel baton in the direction of Venice Beach, where he’ll attempt to walk on water. |
