A tape-recording of my half of
a long telephone conversation I had with my best friend, Phillip
Zohn, ten years before he died of AIDS. The topics discussed
include science fiction, street people and the homeless, passion
and will, commitment and truth, and what it means when a dog tries
to fuck your knee. The transcribed text formed the script for my
early morning street performances of it on East Broadway, Essex,
Orchard, and Division Streets on Manhattan’s Lower East Side. The
original eavesdropped public-space cell phone conversation.
