FIRST, THERE WAS JUST 19-YEAR OLD BARBIE....SOON THERE WERE MORE 'FRIENDS', 'BOYFRIENDS', 'SIBLINGS', 'PETS' .....EVEN 'HOUSES' AND 'GAS STATIONS'......AND....SOON, IN THE 'BEST OF ALL COMMERCIAL WORLDS':

and, now that distractable 'outed' Ken is becoming the 'center of attention', his blue eyes are wandering a bit...well, a lot...from those 'old' graying, heels-off-the-floor Barbies,  to some hot, furry, leather-pants 'Tom'..that he met with Gay Bob, in a Faggy Finnish massage parlor;  and that slutty, bubble-gum-blowing, big-haired Martian spygirl........ Barbie's now cruising for a Brangelina relationship, I think.......soon to be a $$$-maker at your local Mall Theater......Don't worry too much, Ken, remember ....'You Can Be Anything'....Just pull Barbie's back ring on a string and she'll tell you what to do, you Wimp......

THE MATRIX OF COSMIC ACTUALITIES, MANIFEST IN THE FLEETING ORDINARY WORLD

 prickly succulent, now a desiccated remain, this afternoon, post-destined to become an illumination...later, as evening comes.....it's thorns will enter one of my boxes of "Nature's Leavings", to be subsequently transformed into 'Art'....In the "long run"....isn't this the destiny of observed objects, transmuted by observation and processes.....like the chemicals left by all that has materialized before, that have re-entered the Matrix of Cosmic Actualities as beans, butterflies and albatrosses? I remember and reconsider the puff balls in my Grandmother's back yard, when I was 6....and 'blowing away' dandelions.....
