Whatever happenened to Rupert?
Detached Existential Rhymer, Taxi Driver, World Traveler, Thief of Chinese Film, Idealist, Troublemaker, judgmental ass, inspiration Mankind's Last Best Chance.
What happened to Rupert? Perhaps it was a bad slice of pizza and an absence of public toilets in Baltimore. Or maybe he was just making a mission statement.
The last time I saw Rupert, he was singing, "Liars and hypocrites and
thievesoh my. Liars and hypocrites and thieves. "
I took his picture. And then he rambled on and on and on.
"People lie," he yelled at me in a brief moment of clarity, "whether it be to promote an agenda, survival, insurance fraud, to sell products, cause fear, create a false perception of shrewdness --WHATEVER! Some just can’t help themselves--pathological liars or neighbors--religious leaders, politicians, cab drivers--Aaaagh!" I guess it finally got to him and he simply dropped his pants and took a crap on the sidewalk.
