Monsieur Dubois- 'Soul Integration' with Joseph Bowie
Shortly after midnight in a small hotel directly behind the high, futuristic looking offi ce buildings in the city, an employee from room service knocked on the door of room number 26, where Monsieur Dubois was last seen after his mysterious disappearance in France. In the ircles of amateur bird watchers, of which he was a longtime member, rumors were going around that he was following the trail of six rare types of birds he had discovered in the woods of Bourgogne. The hotel employee knocked on the door a few more times although he was certain that there was nobody inside.
He entered the room and looked around. An empty whiskey bottle stood on the table and across the back of the recliner were bright blue, skimpy panties, which made you think of women who made it their profession to get paid for love. On the floor was a large gold-colored birdcage with its door open. Did it have a parrot in it, or Ruff? Had the ruff escaped, or did the owner set it free so he could follow the trail without being burdened? On the tossed bedsheets was a small notepad fi lled with little scribbles of words and sentences without any connection. 'rumors about a new type', the man of the hotel read. 'screeches in trees.' 'searching.' 'always' 'searching'
