I've lived a life of madness and mayhem. I’ve had diabetes for 50 years and have been addicted to one substance of another for 45 of those years. It has been a beautifully joyful and painful schizophrenic ride: drugs, booze, women, music, writing, and learning with each new success or defeat. This blog tries to come to grips with all of life's fractures and contains everything--even you.

WORKING DREAM # 2
Plebeian pleasure
for the masochist
walking:
20 miles through 8 hours
of Key Food specials;
time to be?...not being.
Listening
for distraction:
"FIRE IN THE STOCK ROOM!"
possible?
with all the garbage bags?
"Anything in the window... in the store."
(Dear God,
I promise to believe in you
if you'd please break the window
tomorrow. If you're tied up,
could you please
send the Holy Ghost?)
No pressure--
--sell.
Norman Savage
Coney Island, 1968
