No Place to Go

She said

"I didn't ask you

to wait for me"

"I wasn't waiting"

he said

"I just had

no place to go

that's all"

Kafka of East Oak Lane

         In his room in his parents comfortable house in East Oak Lane he could write about his own city, it's wintry street corners opening onto block after block of uniform row houses, it's gutters reflecting moonlight from the other side of the universe.

Four Bucks a Month

After a prolific career in New York as a major pulpist, he returned home to Philly

........ to live with his parents

jesus wept

And became a virtual recluse

He rented, in California, not a beach-house, but a sofa

I shit you not

Four bucks a month

in a friend's house

That figure intrigues me ; i would love to have heard that deal go down

Using the sofa as a crash pad

His taste ran to fat black hookers

He paid them to humiliate him

They obliged
