Igotta know and I's gonna find out, the meaning oflife. I thought about writing to the Shell Answer Man. He's gonna say First let's go to the Shell testing grounds. You're life will go further with platformate. Live's filled with ordinary gasoline stop one mile short of lives filled with platformatef' Where are the experts on life? In what miserable little corners do they hide themselves - away from us who are crying for the answers. Can we write Ann Landers or Dear Abby. Can you see it now? Dear Abby, I've been living for twenty-one years and I don't know what the shit it means. What does it mean? You've been preaching at us for years with your smug morality. Can you tell me what the hell life means? Puzzled. Dear Puzzled: It is not proper to ask what life means unless your parents approve. You must bone yourself to fit into society and do all the dirty little things and play all the dirty little games that society asks of you. Shit. If she don't know, then nobody do. But I'm gonna sing my anthem. I think i'm an expert. oh, bury me not in the Great Society, where comput- ers whirl and punch cards roll free, and if I die please don't bury me 'neath the Western skies and polluted sea. No, I'm the expert on my life. I'm a-gonna sing. I'm a- gonna shout-shout joy in vulgar tones and life can do its best but I'm a-gonna be me and free.
