Headskip
“When a skip tracer can't find his prey, it's a
dead skip,” said
Richard. I thought he said “headskip”,
as in my wife's secret pill
slip again, reported on the phone tearfully
confessed to me in L.A.
(for poetry reading) -
2nd time this problem - less shattering than
initial lies now I
think poor pill head wife as I wake in NIGHT OF
THE LIVING DEAD t-shirt on Richard's floor Great
Wheel
Buddha festival day my wife of Nosferatu pill head insatiable
struggling as she
councils the drug addicted in Free Clinic morbid
superhero like Blade
half vampire half Hamlet himself a vampire
hunter poor wifey what do I do?
she's stopped again
do nothing
for now
I Ching logic
and what do I do for
me?
Sit - go
home on a jet -
hold ritual
feast in our
front room
for other
students of
Lama Tharchin
Rinpoche
watch TV
go to bed
