'Great Scott', cried the Major to me one day as I was walking his cat. It wasn't that his cat minded, but he did have a habit of shouting into my left ear--and so soon after the operation as well. His face was red and swollen. As we passed the ladies on their soup trolleys, we gazed up into the sky and watched the brightly-coloured UFO's winking in the distance. "Reminds me of when I was a lad," the Major said.
I did the cat-walking everyday, and sometimes at night too. It was large and needed plenty of exercise. Nights were double-time, and at the end of the week I was impressed with the size of my pay packet. I remember vividly the expressions on the faces of the soup-ladies as they passed. I put this down to my old army uniform which hadn't seen a needle and thread since 1941. Dust billowed in such quantities that I sometimes had to feel my way down the badly-lit streets. Maybe they were put off by the cat too, which was cubic--three feet long, three feet wide and three-feet high. Its axles squeaked if it wasn't oiled twice daily.
The area of town I worked in was always busier at night than during the day, and I wondered why sometimes, as I trundled the silent feline along the pavements. Then, one evening I was hailed by a passing philosopher, who engaged me in an odd conversation. He stated that as the cat occupied three feet in each dimension, it must also according to the laws of science occupy three feet in the dimension of time. He repeated such phrases as "your cat was three feet ago" and "it will be in three feet", which left me thoroughly confused. Moreover, as the cat didn't belong to me, I found the whole thing a bit pointless. To end the matter, the Major arrivedand dismissed the fellow with a face the color of fresh beetroot.
When I woke up, Heliotrope Records asked me to do the sleevenotes for their R. Stevie Moore LP, but I was in such a strange mood after the dream I decided against it.

PTOLEMIC PTERRASCOPE (U.K.) 1991 Mick Dillingham R. Stevie Moore is proof that talent can thrive outside the system. For the better part of two decades, RSM has recorded at home, content to issue occasional records while building up a forbiddingly enormous tape library, all of which is open to those who contact the R. Stevie Moore Cassette Club.
