This is
not for Jesus, though he is aware
that Jesus appreciates the words that form in his mouth, as he talks and talks.
Skunk:
I think, it’s not because, anything, anything can... Today, in the shop, I was
opening up ehm, you know when I’m opening up the boxes with my, my pen-knife
and ehm, so I was opening up this box and the blade, I don’t know, maybe I
missed, I misjudged the, the strength of the tape or whatever, and ehm, when I
pulled the knife through the tape it slipped, and I, I managed to halt it
before it did any, but it still kind of jabbed me in the belly
coughs
Skunk:
because I had the box up on the table, the work surface, so I’m kind of pulling
the knife through it and the next thing I know this knife is kind of bouncing,
the blade is bouncing off my clothes over my stomach. And then for the rest of
the day I’m set up to thinking, the idea
was there, and you can’t get away from the idea, that it’s there, that, that something has to be done, and I don’t...
Long
pause.
Skunk:
I can’t get away from this idea that I’ve had the idea to put a knife through
my hand, and it won’t go away until it’s done, that until, until I put a knife
through my hand, until I stick the
blade through the palm of my hand that won’t go away, that’ll always be there, unfulfilled.
And but, but, when I think about it really,
I think if I did one hand, I would
have to do the other, and then if I’d done both
hands, maybe I would have to do my feet as well, and then rip a, rip the knife
up my side, up my ribs, as well. And then that would be it, that would be it
finished.
