Kai reicht mir in meiner bunt gestrichenen Küche ein bunt verpacktes Geschenk in der Größe eines schmalen Taschenbuchs. Ich bin überrascht-verwundert (meist schenkt er in Deutschland nicht erhältliche DVDs, Bücher usw) und packe aus. Es ist ein schmales Taschenbuch! Ein Travel Guide. Los Angeles.
"Mach mal auf!"
Ich falle angesichts eines Business Class Tickets nach LA in Ohnmacht.

Zeitsprung. Nikotinpflaster pflastern meinen Flug. Ich deriliere angesichts meiner Sozialphobie (12 Stunden Reisen in Transportmitteln, die mit Fremden besetzt sind), des Zigaretten-Entzugs und des Lebenstraumes, der wahr werden wird, der so albern ist, aber existiert, seit ich 9 Jahre alt bin: Ihr Grab besuchen. Kai hat diesen Traum wahr gemacht. Drei Tage Los Angeles und Silvester 03/04 zurück nach FFM und B. Das Hotel ist in Torrance, aber wir haben einen Mustang und cruisen die Highways entlang. LA scheint gar nicht so groß wie ich mir vorgestellt habe. Sogar der Smog riecht für mich gut. Venice, Santa Monica, Abstecher nach Bel Air, Melrose. Sunset Boulevard, Mulholland Drive, Hollywood and Vine. Jede Straße Celluloid. Wie in jeder Stadt in der ich bin überlege ich, ob ich hier leben könnte und denke "Ja". (Opportunist). Und dann suchen wir den Westwood Memorial Friedhof. Und finden ihn nicht. Er liegt ganz versteckt, irgendwo hinterm Wilshire Blvd. Da ist ein Kino, in dem "Mona Lisa Smile" läuft und ein Film mit Owen Wilson. Büro-Hochhäuser. Wir parken den Mustang (im Halteverbot, wie sich später herausstellt) und suchen. Finden. Leer, kaum jemand da, außer Kai und mir. Ein völlig undramatischer, geradezu peinlich kleiner Vorstadt-Friedhof mitten in LA. Rasenflächen mit identisch gestalteten Grabplatten. Kuck ma - Jack Lemmon! Truman Capote. Dann die "Schränke", die Leichenschubladen. Wo man nicht verrottet sondern vertrocknet. Mein Blick wandert und ich werde ganz traurig - ich muss es doch auf Anhieb finden, das Grab meiner Kindheitskönigin... Aber nee. Und es gab keinen Blumenladen. Ich mein, hey - jeder Scheißfriedhof hat einen Blumenladen. Dann ärgere ich mich über meine blöde Idee, mir die Haare über Weihnachten unbedingt rot tönen zu müssen. Ich bin in LA! Auf ihrem Friedhof! Und nicht mal blond!! Dann sehe ich auf einem Grab einen Tinker Bell Aufkleber. Heather O´ Rourke, "Carol Ann" aus den "Poltergeist"-Filmen. Da wird mein Herz warm. Für Tink stand SIE Modell. Und dann, paar Schritte weiter, sehe ich einen Sargschrank, einen Fläche mit Plaketten, und eine Grabkammer ist viel dunkler als die anderen. Weil alle sie berühren wollen. Ich gehe, schaue - ihr Name, 1926-1962. Lippenstiftabdrücke von bescheuerten Fans. Geschmacklose Blumen, teils vergammelt. Joe DiM.´s Dauerauftrag "jeden Tag eine frische rote Rose" lief 1982 aus. 20 Jahre waren gebucht, 20 Jahre reichen, er ist Pragmatiker. Und trotzdem gelten seine letzten Worte ihr. Er hat nach ihr nie wieder geheiratet.
Und ich hab nichts dabei. Keine Blume. Nichts. Für die Leiche meiner Heldin. Und dieses abgefummelte Grab schlägt mir aufs Gemüt und ich setz die Sonnenbrille auf, damit Kai nicht sieht, dass es dahinter zu fließen beginnt. Und will dem Scheiß-Governor Schwarzenegger einen Brief schreiben "Sie da - so ruht Hollywod-Royalty aber nicht! Schafffen Sie ein Mausoleum für die Dame, und zwar heute und nicht manana!" Aber wir gehen einfach wieder, zupfen das Strafticket von der Windschutzscheibe, setzen uns in den Mustang und fahren schweigsam nach Torrance.

So ausschweifend und glamourös Marilyn Monroes Leben war, so trist ist ihre letzte Ruhestätte. Ein Pilgergrab, das ihrem Leben nicht gerecht wird und so manchem wahren Bewunderer wohl ein bisschen das Herz bricht…

Deine Kleine Schwester Kari!

It is a good timberland 6 inch boots thing that the God Who made us is not impatient with people like me with my timberland shoe company orchid. He lovingly thinks about us all the time timberland boots and he even temporarily gave up His heavenly home and his timberland traditional handsewn hold on diety to die for the sins of timberland mens custom world nearly 2,000 years ago. His death back then covered the sins of every cheap timberland boots person who will ever live. He then rose to life after three mens timberland chukka days and ever since has wanted us to accept His gracious act by loving Him and also those around us. When we do this, we will see people in a totally different timberland womens premium boots light — one that redefines what it means to be ugly or different or weird or strange. Instead, we see people with ugly timberland shoes store problems in whom God is working so they can bloom beautifully — just like I now see in my orchids whether they are “lumps” or blossoms! On a certain timberland work shoes day at a certain hour, we will pull into the station. Bands will be playing and flags waving. Once we get there, so many wonderful dreams will come true and the pieces of our timberland wheat shoes lives will fit together like a completed jigsaw puzzle. How restlessly we pace the aisles, *ing the minutes for timberland for you loitering --waiting, waiting, waiting for the station.

However mean your nike air max 2010 mens life is meet it and live it; Do not shun it and call it hard names. It is not so bad nike air max 2010 as you are. It looks poorest when you are richest. The nike max 2009 on sale faultfinder will find faults in paradise. Love your new nike air max 2009 life poor as it is. You may perhaps have some pleasant thrilling glorious air max 95 black hours even in a poorhouse. The setting sun is reflected from the blue airmax 95 windows of the alms-house as brightly as from the rich man's blue air max 90 for women abode; the snow melts before its door as early in the spring. I do not see but a quiet mind may nike air max 90 live as contentedly there and have as cheering cheap air max 180 thoughts as in a palace. The town's poor seem to me often to live the most independent air max classic womens shoes lives of any. May be they are simply great nike air max enough to receive without misgiving. Most think that they are above being supported by the town; but it often grey nike air max for men happens that they are not above supporting themselves by dishonest means. Which should be more disreputable. Cultivate poverty men air max shoes like a garden herb like sage. Do not trouble yourself much to get new things whether clothes or women air max shoes friends Turn the old return to them. Things do not change; we change. Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts. Today we have higher nike air max white buildings and wider highways but shorter temperaments and narrower points of nike red air max 2009 view.
