Walter Kist & the Seven Whorls Chapter 9
Jesus pamphlets, chewed bubblegum, poker chips. I used to get some strange stuff in my busker hat. One day among the coins and bills I found a shiny silver tube of lipstick in a shade called Drop Dead Red. The very next day there was a plastic compact of grey eye shadow named Gunmetal.

Walter Kist & the Seven Whorls Chapter 8
09/3/81 Dear A: In Barcelona, I met a guy who introduced me to Blue Curacao. In case you can’t guess, this liqueur originated on the island of Curacao.

It sounds like a laugh and a song all rolled into one. A shot or two of Curacao and you’ll feel like a laugh and a song all rolled into one! In the photo: the guy’s nephew, Django.

August 22, 1981. Dear Kist, I can hardly wait to meet you in Toulouse. Toronto is a hot sticky town and I don’t know anyone here. I miss Vancouver, her mountains and ocean. Here, there are no mountains, just endless skyscrapers. And no salt water! Just a lake that isn’t safe to swim in. Remember how we used to dance in the rain? In this city the rain just blurs the ink in my diary.

Walter Kist & the Seven Whorls Chapter 4
