my contemporaries…
of all the writers
i used to know
way back
when my first books were coming out,
very few are still around…
Allan was in a car crash,
dropped out,
got cancer and died.
Brent is
making his living
writing articles
for cooking magazines.
Moses went back to nature
somewhere in the Arizona desert.
by now
he’s probably
a short order cook
in some diner
on route 66.
Michael’s a preacher
in Connecticut.
Joe teaches computer.
and Don
one day
just packed up
and disappeared.
no,
of all the guys
i started out with
i’m the only one
not smart enough
to figure out a way
to truly
kick
this habit.
imagine that.
