Life's never been better for ol' Cog. Every person I pass on the street seems to know that I, Cog, am the editor of this Comintern. Just to be sure, I shout out the same at them. It goes a little like this: "I AM THE EDITOR OF THE NEO-COMINTERN ELECTRONIC MAGAZINE AND BMC IS NOT!" The typical reaction goes a little like this: "Well, it's about time!" It's been great. But you know what else is great? These next two articles! Enjoy, friends. Let's see what falls off the vine so that we can then create sweet, blinding Comintern Wine. ,o$o o$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$Y$$$$b d$$$' ` `$$b d$$' BMC in London ,$$ $$: by Heckat ,$P `$n,.. . . . . . . . . . . . . ..P' `"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""' You told me that you want to be a Breeders song You think you're so weird that it tires me, Mr. "I'm so abstract I want to be a song." I think the song was "has anyone seen the iguana" and that would be just like you to pick a song like that. And then be it. Now you'll probably say "that wasn't the song at all," and "you weren't even listening to me!" Pout, yeah that's it, stick your bottom lip out a little further, a little lower. Do I even need to roll my eyes this time or can you anticipate my disgust? Stop the car. Just stop it. I'll make you get out. I'll leave you here on 33rd street in front of the furniture store that has the really lame commercials on T.V. I'll make you walk home, you bet. Stupid BMC. I sent him to England instead. He thinks he'll get the better of me by leaving me stranded on 33rd. But we'll just see him how long it takes to walk all the way home from London! tee hee (p.s. I miss BMC) ,o$o o$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$Y$$$$b d$$$' ` `$$b d$$' stories for fruit ,$$ $$: by ada ,$P `$n,.. . . . . . . . . . . . . ..P' `"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""' strawberries are conceited they always want you to remember them long after you've eaten the last one in the bowl my mom use to sprinkle sugar over them until they were soaked in their own juice like blood strawberries are over dramatic they like to pretend they're a Shakespearean tragedy falling all over themselves with dialogue the seeds get stuck in my teeth for hours i've always hated flossing i tell this to a friend and she thinks oranges are worse first you have to peel them work for them they always have such tough skin, never open up to you and once you have them peeled the first bite you take has them dripping all over your brand new suit they're just screaming for attention, always wanting to be noticed you just know they weren't part of the cool crowd in high school i've been trying to eat a lot of bananas to get more potassium what is with the name banana? such a redundant fruit and so completely absent minded i have heard they are prone to alzheimer's as they get older always repeating their own name, trying desperately to remember how it sounds, what the letters look like banananananana you say apples are the most complacent fruit never give you any trouble, never rocking the boat i think you say this because they remind you of you you've never looked in the fruit drawer in my fridge have you full of rotting apples with big brown bruises all over their shinny red peel every suburban family buys a bag or two of apples and they sit so nicely in the fridge they are the forgotten fruit the exoticism left centuries ago and no one really wants them now you can find them in a tree in your backyard we have a crabapple tree in ours i step on sour apples on the deck every day in the fall they squish between my toes feel like mud i ask my mother about her favorite fruit she mentions the pomegranate it surprises you, she says, when we are curled up in her bed after a night swim my hair soaking my father's pillow it looks like such a simple fruit but then you open it up and there are all these seeds that look like tiny chunks of flesh they nestle softly inside safe little pouches a pomegranate has a million little secrets buried underneath its skin .d&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&b.
