A prison made of pencils.
I detested school from the first day of first grade. I equated school with prison.
On my first day of first grade I first learned these things that settled the matter for me. First, the motto:
The end depends upon the beginning.
Hearing this motto, I was struck that the more accurate description of this place was:
This is the beginning of the end.
The escape commences…
~~
September, 1957
~~
Saint Jane Frances de Chantal Catholic parochial school, called, by anyone of any background, simply: “Chan~al,” a place where, of an autumn day in 1957, school, for me, began and ended in the first convening of the first grade in which a tiny nun, one Sister Dom Bosco, appeared before me, just behind the window appearing at far left of this photograph, and piped out this: “I may be small, but so then, is the Atom Bomb.”
~~I put my head on my little notebooks, looked to the left, outside at a sunny, September, blue-sky and said to myself in my little 5 year old voice :
“I have GOT to get the fuck of of here.”
My determination to escape school commenced immediately on hearing about this Atom Bomb business and took 16 dicey and arduous years to finally accomplish.~~
Today, Steve, wrote me about an old singer called Ricky Nelson who had a similar attitude about school to which I say:
Pick your own reason, but Ricky’s is as good a reason as any to hate school:
Nelson told the Los Angeles Weekly he hated school because it “smelled of pencils.”

He is dangerous for the political set because he’s the only one who’s sincere. He says out loud what many people think deep down, and what the politicians refrain from saying because they are either too demagogic or too chicken. Le Pen, with all his faults and qualities, is probably the only one who thinks about the interests of France before his own.”~~ Alain Delon~~Actor John Daniel Begg raises cotton.~~In the Old South, the real Southland, we had a charming expression, when asked what an idle man did for a living:~~“Oh, he raises cotton.”~~ - Which meant, he did absolutely nothing at all, as cotton, “the white gold,” raises herself.
