so, even though she’s incapable 

of saying the words…

She just wants you to die.

The After Party

Writers? A Murder of Crows Had a thing here this evening. Everybody present. S’great. You got to keep watch all the time, keep the predators away from prey. Twice I had to rescue Nathanael West from Sylvia Plath. She had that thin-lip teeth-deep-inside look going. I gave him a whiskey sour and she moved on. Barthelme was weeping again. Best to leave him alone when he’s like that. Otherwise you get too many minimalist paragraphs of extravagant grief. Nearly had to shoot Beckett. Damn good looking cuss. Women line up to wait for him. Useless to tell them he has the IQ of a turnip. Kafka died again. He always has to top Camus. Messy messy, as usual. Had some fine drinks with the two F’s, Scott and Bill, tied with me for the worst first novels in history. (Thurber’s Henry James screech doesn’t count.) Willa Cather took off her top. At least Kafka didn’t have to see that. Then things got ugly between me and JJ, the fake one-eyed wonder, when I told him I’d written a cosmology bigger than...

Friends like these

Some days you’re thin, some days you have hair, but you’re always old . I had friends who were sociopaths  What I wondered made me friends Howard was the worst He tortured Clarence and the physics boy he called In the middle of the night But he died at 40 and I could stop thinking Will was bad an awful model I followed all over We went everywhere in cars at 130 or more And he did not care who won but him I also knew a ravaged man who thought he had the Christ But didn’t even mistaken understand I was close to Him for real And he never ever  Like any of them Knew a credit card from the commandments or God I have had bad friends But they have saved me from time to time Howard said, ‘Hit them before they get done yelling,’ and he was right. Will said, “Turn off the back lights and they can’t find you,” and he was right Rob Davey said, ‘Never let them find you on the Internet.’ Why They’re still after me… But they will find you Rob and you will see the night Because I now know why...
