Marquee Moon




Sometimes
When I am in my writing room

Sonja walks in
And says,

"I wish you wouldn't
Sit here writing
Naked like that."

Today
When we were watching television
Sonja said,

"I wish I was a man.
I could sit here drinking beer
And playing with my cock
All day like you."

The moon is a mean motherfucker.

I have much the same habit. Since the kids are prone to wander in and out, I restrict myself to wearing boxer shorts. Or cargo pants.

I can't write or concentrate in anything which requires a belt or digs into my gut.

It is hard to write, too, when you can feel the contempt drilling into your back. The evil eye reflected in the monitor.

If I were to fall down dead, no doubt the PC would be liberated as a Bebo toy. While they took turns to kick my lifeless body. I don't know, Beer. I don't think I can make it.

You are right. "The Moon is a mean motherfucker".

"Hesitating."
