Dark beginning to Texas character

1.
I'm the dark
at the beginning of evening
before the light starts to dim

What you expected to lose
when you got caught
but only got deeper.

i'm the dark that gets darker
shades that get lost
revealed and revealed
like levels of a puzzle
deeper and deeper

Idea: "Science artist." This bleak dumbblind fledgling carefully interviews scientific scholars day and night (he really believes our is the age of the obsessive). He then constructs meta-narratives and beautiful rendered dioramas, sculptures and "paintings" about the research. Often they are adorned with feathers. They are sometimes quite something. However, this piebald mare gets paid nothing for his labors. "Quid pro quo," he likes to say, laughing. One day this luck-star magnate will fall on his ass, get up, and keep walking. Nothing may have changed.

That really, really lame guy who I won't name who did the "ACORN" and NPR "stings" said two of his heroes are GK Chesterton and Mike Wallace.

"Actually in my band we wear fake yak-hair moustaches and platform shoes with living fish in the soles. It's like, a statement."

(In a thick Texas accent)
I need more spice in my life, literally and figuratively, so I moved my ass from a small town 50 mile outside Laredo to San Antonio, Texas. It was the best move I ever made in my whole life! Now I eat chile con carne for breakfast, lunch and dinner and supplement my diet with all sorts of exotic spices! Chiles, pablano peppers, and Mexican bananas.

The other mornin I was eating tortillas and drinkin coffee when this beautiful young thing walked down the alleyway toward me. She was blond as a spring sunrise and had the tits to knock you out of a tree if you were looking down. I got so excited I accidentally knocked over a can of Quaker State I had been gettin' ready to oil down my bike with. the oil oozed out as only sweet Texas crude could. I had thoughts about her privates, maybe. I looked at her and said, "Hey, you really bowl me over, honey."
