Since I started writing this it seems like there's more laundry to do, but it's just that I haven't been doing as much daily so it builds up. I feel like such a jerk using the dryer, blowing heat out into the already hot air, but on humid days towels just hang on the line without drying, going sour. I'm want some of those quick-drying travel towels. I want it!! I wonder if they're good. Wonder if you can get quick-drying travel jeans. Oh yeah, there called pajamas! Good for blogging.Found a little green dope bag in the front garden, wonder who tossed it there? I put it on our kitchen table hoping my husband would ask me why I had started shooting up, but he was preoccupied and never noticed. Plus the table is covered with junk so the bag doesn't really grab attention. It's a really small bag, I wonder what was in it. My friend found a bullet in her tree-pit garden, brought it in, somehow left it lying around the house so her husband found it and naturally asked "what's this bullet doing here?" It's interestiong to find evidence of vice in the garden. If I were to find evidence of virtue instead, what would it be? Maybe gold coins tossed in by a really generous person. That always happens here in Brooklyn, someone drives down the street throwing money out of the window of their car. That's why we're all so rich here.

Historically, vice has played an integral role in the idea of the garden in the western world. As places of fertility gardens have been considered both in the domain of Venus and of the Virgin Mary; so that in the middle ages the vice of Venus became supplanted by the virtue of Mary, although who is more fertile than Mary the Virgin, whose womb, no matter how enclosed was able to bear the fruit that was the son of god.
There is something about the bullet and the dime bag entering the domain of the garden that is an intrusion into the feminine space of the garden, as it has been not only in the world of the west but in other worlds as well. Wouldn't it be cool if the Venus of Willendorf turned up in our gardens?
