THE ADVENTURES OF MARILYN (Part 97)



In which Marilyn attempts to make conversation with the other guests at the banquet for assembled sentients. “What have they done to the Earth?” She asks. “What have they done to our fair sister? Ravaged and plundered, and ripped her, and bit her, stuck her with knives in the side of the dawn, and tied her with fences, and dragged her down. I hear a very gentle sound, with your ear down to the ground. We want the world and we want it...” She pauses and frowns. Something is very wrong. “Oh dear. That’s not me. I’m channeling Jim Morrison. We must have had an iconographic poetry distort.” She attempts to dismiss the glitch with a bright disarming smile. “At least we’re still speaking English…aren’t we?”

Marilyn is prescient as ever. The 8th December marked Jim's 65th birthday - his channeling of 'When the Music's Over' through Marilyn seems a good way to celebrate it.

Per Lachaise was again full of empty beers. Even Edith Piaf was little bit jalous.
