Two Jasperjohns - Personal wealth, part four

hiiiiiiii, hello! hello! hello? hello? oh...thank God. Aww, come on man, pick up your ***. Bonbon sheets don't dryclean themselves. --Ahhh! Joseph what are you doing? ---Being. ---How's your evening? ---I was planning on getting back to Jonas's engagement party. I really was, but That guy's side body obliques were like bath salts. I lost complete track of time. Like that time was even a concept that existed and despite what they tell you on TV you can't just jump out of a second-story bathroom window into an open dumpster what someone's boyfriend shows up and not expect to land in at least a little bit of feces. I mean I had to wait outside of a TJMaxx in midtown just for them to open, so I could change out my *** clothes get home. What are you doing, Joseph? ---Mmm? I'm just listening And? ---I don't live by "ands" Jude. I'm here. I'm present I'm listening and I'm so happy that you found this connection with someone And don't worry about the party. Jonas will understand. and I understand. ---Okay Did anything else... happen at this party? ---It was wonderful they had strawberry shortcake I was reborn as a pure vessel after having seen the light truth have given up the former shell of my life so I can better inhabit this now space as a navigator not just as an idol passenger Oh!....Fun! So you're feeling normal? Like on a scale a fantastic to maybe indoctrinated? I feel whole, Jude. Do you understand what I mean? Shanti....shanti Shanti...ooohhhh {sings} Do you mind if I make a quick call? ----noooo {still singing} Oh. Hey. I made Æbleskivers. I would be honored if you'd have some. They're filled with fresh sage and the white aura of love's true glory. Yeah...uh huh. Jonas, what the *** did you guys do to Joseph? I don't have time to de-program someone right now Chancleta got foot rot from a black market mani-pedi and I'm the only one running the cart at Rockefeller Center this afternoon and those American Girl Place *** go sociopath the second you run out of red velvet! This is good. But you can't even lift a pan! You eat macaroni and cheese right out of the package and then pour the powder in after. Well I know how much you appreciate food and it's about time I committed myself to learning. Don't you think? Hey do you need any help with the cart this afternoon? I'm all yours just as soon as I finish the taper right on your bespoke suits. But I don't own any bespoke...Oh nothing! nothing! It's all good. I'm fine! Uh huh Bye, bye bye. Are you okay? I'm. I'm great! {song} Shanti {song} Joseph! Could you maybe stop? And help me with the groceries, please? Hi... ---Hi. Hi. What are you doing here? ---We're re-facing our brownstone. ---Ugh, the dust... You know how it is. It's been impossible to do our vocational integration training No! no, no, no, no, no! Remember what we said. Do it again, with dominance and confidence! Okay and then we're gonna let you watch Koyaanisqatsi ---Koyaanisqats-ee. ---Koyaanisqats-ee. This isn't even letterpress, bro! I know. I trimmed overages and outsourced all your IT to Ghana! Allegra don't do that. Do you want to do a powerpoint on how it feels to have your hair pulled? ---Nope. No. Why are you here? ---Uhh your boyfriend overheard us at the farmers market while he was prostrating himself on the sidewalk and said we could have his place for as long as we needed. What boyfriend? ---the pillow faced on in the dress. Gross! Not my boyfriend. Listen, you just keep talking and I'm just gonna go get my taser real quick. Oh! There's a dog giving birth here. ---Oh she's gonna be done soon do you want one? Wow. Get out! Get out!! That's rude, bro. ---They're not my guests... ---Exactly! I said they could have our place... you know we've been happy sure, but still you know, I perceive this blockage to our joy and then hit me - health insurance and leases. Things! They're all just part of this hopelessly toxic system that eschews any possibility of serendipity And if we want everything, we have to re-boot our lives back to nothing. Joseph, my life has barely even booted! You say that. But I can see in your haggard face that part of you wants to agree with me, which is why I gave it all away. Okay, let's be very clear about what you mean by all. Uh the apartment. The television. The microwave; my savings account, your Kake Krazy business. My MTA card. I dunno. It feels heavy just saying these things. My business that's impossible! --- I thought the same thing but you know what Joel still has controlling shares your company and he was so helpful in showing me how I could...Well basically we gave the cart to Chancleta she's pushing to Venezuela Where you going? I'll be right back I have to go talk to someone We love your place I don't love it. I like it It's fine. It's fine. {Shanti music}
