Dripping on a Rock

           You're a guy, a human being. Just another poor son of a bitch who doesn't want to be alone when the sacred ginmill closes.
                                                  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
           So many changes, eating away at the world like water dripping on a rock.

At Some Time

      At some time all cities have this feel ; in London it's at five or six on a winter evening. Paris has it too, late, when the cafes are closing up. In New York it can happen anytime ; early in the morning, as the light climbs over the canyon streets and the avenues stretch so far into the distance that it seems the whole world is a city ...........

Like Flushed Prey

        The lights of the little highway town spread with their approach and then scattered like flushed prey as they entered it's limits. Under the filling station sheds, swirling insects clouded the naked bulbs. The stores were closed ; the depot dark.
