The Sacred Relationship Between a Writer and His Audience

No one gives a shit
if you’re happy. Those
inspirational stories they have
one good go around and are then
forgotten. What matters
is how you react
after you’ve stepped in fresh dog shit,
had a fight with your girl,
got tossed out of the bar –
only to then be arrested,

after which you discover
you left your phone
in the bar and there’s no one
to call for bail
except your girl
and she, most likely,
will hang up on you
after telling you
she hopes you get
gang raped.
