I can't seem to find that letter. I can't even remember if I handwrote or typed it. Maybe I sent it? Have I? I have purchased 2 small things that will stay with me forever. I paid $20 for a moment. A moment alone. New curtains. I rolled the dice and got 4 and 6; not bad for a thursday night. I received a letter. I rolled it up and blew smoke rings through it. I cut my fingernails. I will see my mother in 13 days. I will see Nick Cave in 10. I will buy useless stupid souvenirs for my friends and carry them on the plane. I have made an inquiry at the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce. I will spend a night at a former jail building in 11 days. I will see Vienna for the first time and visit Nietzsche's room where he spent months trying to decide if he was crazy. I bought two bottles of Mexican coke, 10 oz. of Amsterdam Shag but it's made in Denmark.
I polished my boots, my shirt is white, my beard trimmed, I am 31, I've got 52 dollars 32 cents in my pocket. I am putting the boots on, my keys are already in my pocket. I am going to go and drink 7 glasses of Irish whiskey; that leaves $10.32 tip for the bartender. Keep in touch.
