Swimming Through the Fish's Gills...

   Mon, July 4, 2005 - 3:49 PM
I was in the mission district in SF looking for dope -- and I was kind of dope sick but not too bad and I somehow was friends with a very scary looking Latino person -- or not really friends, but he said he would help me get dope. I gave him $60.00 and we ended up at this nasty hotel/apt area and it was really bad. I came inside and 2 other Hispanic guys were talking and sort of forgot about me and were just bullshitting with the other guy. I found that the apt had very weak ceilings and the areas in the room corners had dirt areas that were very dark and there were areas of earth and my 'friend' went in there and kind of disguised himself while the other guys bullshitted. So at one point I walked over and tried to see what the guy was doing and he was smoking crack and I was really pissed because then I knew that he had spent the money I gave him on crack for him instead of dope for me so I turned around and went back to the other two guys and one seemed to know that I was pissed off and he gave me a crumpled up piece of wadded white plastic from a supermarket garbage bag and I opened it as he told me I had to give him money and I said 'Not until I see it!" So I opened it to find a REALLY tiny piece of the black tar heroin and I wadded it back up and threw it to the floor in front of him and said he could save it for his morning wake up in a really pissed off way. Then I started to walk to the other guy who I'd came with and I fell in a crack in the old wood flooring and the guy took out his cock and started pissing on me. It kind of went in slow motion as the first trail of piss came down toward me and I strangely kind of looked up wanting it to fall on me. Then I felt the warm piss falling on my face and was freaked out a bit and got up and we started walking down to the street level where I wanted to get away and leave but the guy who stole my money but he wanted to hang with me so he followed me and the other 2 guys were behind him and MANY people were above in hallways and stairs and I noticed that there was urine seeping through all the ceilings like rain!! As we walked -- I started walking faster and noticed more and more people in corners pissing and as we continued it got worse and worse and we became drenched in the urine.
Anyway -- we got out the door and to my car that was there with police around it who took us all to a jail cell waiting room and at that point I was really irritated being arrested after ONLY wanting to get high and noting that I'd really not done anything illegal except for being in a bad place -- so we sat there and the 3 Hispanic guys seemed really non-caring about the entire event and were just talking in Spanish and didn't really care.
A really drunk person came in and was completely helpless and the guys in there started making fun of him -- and then began punching him right in the center of his face around his nose and eyes and it was horrific -- I saw that after many many hard blows to the face that the face began to kind of cave in but the strange thing was that it was almost like rubber -- his face started to form a kind of hole in it that sort of sucked all the skin inward around it. It was really strange because he was also kind of half-lucid and was still in a state of consciousness but the whole got bigger with each punch. I began to hate the guys around me and I seemed unable to do anything with so many around that seemed to enjoy it. Anyway -- it wasn't long before I was out of there and was driving my car after having been released and it was night and I ended up at a punk club in L.A. -- it was at the same place on Sunset that Mai Ploy was -- (the Thai place we ate at with the parking kind of down the hill--when you were in L.A. with me). Anyway -- I was at the club and some band that I knew the people in was playing and there were two people I was hanging with and to my horror the 3 Hispanic guys were there drunk and talking and they asked me for a ride home and I felt threatened by them and agreed to it. So later I was paranoid because I thought these guys were going to kill me and I went down to my car and moved it to the area on Sunset so I could make an easy escape. So right when the band seemed to be ready to stop me and one guy wearing TONS of makeup ran out to my car and tried to get away -- and the 3 guys were outside trying to stop us while we got in the car and started to drive away - but we did get away.
Soon it was day and we were driving on the freeway near San Bernadino and I saw a kind of water park thing and I went in this really large pool and saw this girl who seemed to be able to fill her body with tons and tons of air and rise out of the water about a hundred or more feet -- it seemed to thrill the audience. She asked me if I would be willing to steady her body with the help of one other person -- a woman that was in the water with her. I was fascinated and agreed to help. I noticed a MASSIVE whale (that kind of had the features of a shark) was in the water as well and it was used too as a way of steadying her body while she was inflated. I was really really interested and was blown away at this young girl's ability to warp her body like this -- and also really a bit scared of the massive fish -- I noticed that it had gills too so it couldn't be a whale - though the body was a whale and the pool was HUGE. The fish seemed really docile and it loved the little girl and participating in the act. There were many people watching and the girl asked me to help steady her and to also run a camera that was on the concrete on one side of the pool on a huge boom thing that went a few hundred feet up in the air when i touched the zoom button -- it seemed to lift me up above the girls massive body. I could zoom out and I would raise hundreds of feet up in the air! The whole scene was almost ecstatic but I somehow felt like the girl was hurting doing the strange body manipulation. Anyhow -- I was on one side of the girl and the woman was on the other and the fish's head was just sitting steady behind her as she began to inhale and lift up in the air...and she went really really high up and began to tilt and fall..I didn't really know what to do but she kind of exhaled and came back to her normal size and said that it was important that she not fall to one side and it was my steadying and the fishes to keep her from falling to a side and that she would try it again. I told her that I needed to get help and she said that she would still practice and that I should try to get some help.
So I walked to the freeway -- the I-10 that was near and looked for people to help -- I noticed many many people hitch-hiking on the freeway and when I walked up to the freeway I noticed a couple MASSIVE giants standing at the freeway -- unable to really fit in any car, but they seemed to be waiting for a ride. The main giant was an old man. He was standing maybe 20' (or more) in the air and had a strange steel structure that kind of held him and his giant wife (who was standing next to him) up -- it went up on one side and had a contraption that went around his head kind of placing steel rods in his head (like Frankenstein) into his temples that were kind of filled with pus. I asked him why he had the rods in his head and he said that he had back problems. I told him "yeah, they're really common. I have a herniation in L5-S1." and I began walking back toward the pool -- and he began to follow. Before I left I noticed a perfect line of giants that slowly got smaller down a curved point in the freeway -- they were all motionless and expressionless. So I walked fast towards the pool area and when I got there I jumped in the water and saw that the women was kind of spiraling from a current that the whale-fish had made with it's gills -- swimming in a circle of fast water from one gill into the head of the fish and out the other gill and around the mouth and back again. I was really blown away by seeing this and asked the woman how she did it. She told me to get in the current and try -- but I was kind of scared until I saw the fish kind of look at me really docile and protective kind of in a reassuring way so I jumped in with her and saw the inside of the fish's head and came out and went through the smooth and warm gills -- and back through out into the water and I found it really relaxing because the fish did all of the work!!

Original work, or....?
Um, I remember seeing the first part of this in one of the tribes here, from a WOMAN, if I remember correctly, talking about dope-dreams while getting clean of an addiction.

Are you claiming that this is your original work?
