One day, we sat in the living room talking.<br />

There was a loud knock on the door and we heard,<br />

“It’s the police. Open up.” Richard grabbed his shotgun<br />

and stood pointing it at the door in case they<br />

broke in, while I ripped up the pot plants we grew in<br />

the living room and threw them in the fireplace,<br />

which was burning at the time. After we destroyed<br />

the evidence and put the gun away, we opened the<br />

door to find a friend of Richard’s who decided to play<br />

a practical joke. That was the end of the friendship.<br />

I bought a BMW 500 motorcycle. I took Carolyn<br />

<strong>for</strong> rides at night. We parked in Golden Gate Park,<br />

went in the woods, and made love. We even made<br />

love in the kitchen while Richard was in another<br />

room.<br />

Richard bought a BMW 250, and we took a trip<br />

to Big Sur. Carolyn rode with me since I had the bigger<br />

bike. We raced down the coast at 105 miles per<br />

hour. The wind rushed under my helmet visor, and I<br />

breathed in gulps while Carolyn crouched behind me<br />

to break the wind.<br />

We rented a room at the Redwood Lodge.<br />

Richard stayed there while Carolyn and I went to the<br />

Enchanted Forest to drop a thousand mics of acid<br />

each. We sat on the bank of a stream naked, became<br />

absorbed in colors and patterns, and then broke into<br />

the white light. A couple of young women swam up<br />

stream from us. After some time, I regained external<br />

consciousness and dove into the stream feeling at one<br />

with it.<br />
