Yoko Ono

is aware that she is Yoko Ono whether she is just waking up, drinking water or avoiding flows of traffic that could kill her. Maybe not when she is asleep. Being Yoko Ono is something that has probably taken a lifetime to learn how to do. I heard her on Sirius radio the other day and I tried to hear behind her tones if she knew she was Yoko Ono, and sure enough it was there. The knowing. I heard it. She has already written and sung her death song, and that's what she was talking about on Sirius: she said you can her her crying while she sings it although the song's title talks about leaving the earth smiling. What is this crap about, you ask yourself or the air now. You are suddenly filled with hatred at writing that doesn't lift you outside of your body or a frame you are already too accustomed to. Poor you. There is a college where they teach a course called "HATING YOKO ONO." They say it's a pretty easy course to ace, but still not as easy a "MUSIC APPRECIATION" even though this has a new name (which isn't really fooling anybody).
