Intermission

I think we’re all crazy. It came to me while I was on my way to Pier 27. All of a sudden it hit me like a ton of bricks. A thing like that never happened to me before. Here we are in this wonderful world, full of all the wonderful things-here we are-all of us, and look at us. Just look at us. We’re crazy. We’re nuts. We’ve got everything, but we always feel lousy and dissatisfied just the same.
