The End

if i

or anybody don't
know where it her his

my next meal's coming from
i say to hell with that
that doesn't matter (and if

he she it or everybody gets a
bellyful without
lifting my finger i say to hell
with that i

say that doesn't matter)but
if somebody
or you are beautiful or
deep or generous what
i say is

whistle that
sing that yell that spell
that out big (bigger than cosmic
rays war earthquakes famine or the ex

prince of whoses diving into
a whatses to rescue miss nobody's
probably handbag) because i say that's not

swell(get me)babe not(understand me)lousy
kid that's something else my sweet(i feel that's

true)

Postscript: A few of you have expressed interest in making a similar trip, and are wondering how to pull off logistics. I'm going to ring up the cost of my last 6 months soon, and am happy to share any info, just ask. My guess is that it was around 6-7K, which includes my predilections for top-shelf scotch, food that isn't shit, my own room at hostels, and sidetrips to remote islands (as well as the eleven hundy it takes to get to NZ and back). Could've shaved off a few K if I cared to for sure. And I easily could've gotten a job while here if I'd wanted to pay off the rest. What I'm saying is, it's totally doable. It's your world!
