About Me

Richard got married to a figure skater and he bought her a dishwasher and a coffee percolator and he drinks at home now most nights with the tv on and all the house lights left up bright. Now I’m gonna blow this damn candle out I don’t want nobody comin’ over to my table. I got nothing to talk to anybody about. All good dreamers pass this way some day Hidin’ behind bottles in dark cafes. Dark cafes. Only a dark cocoon before I get my gorgeous wings And fly away. Only a phase, these dark cafe days.

x=i

I am a kingdom of clicks, an audible nonsense, a grim neurotic noise, masquerading as a man. I am a big, black Jonah, groaning in the belly of a city bus. I bring the fear of God to a congregation of...
