O no bitch, please.I haven't been able to write lately. I suppose it is because I think this whole endeavor may be pointless. Every time I think of the poem I mailed to him in a drunken haze (the eternal excuse), I cringe and blurt some fragment out, schizophrenically:"Trick!""Fuck!""Composite sketch!"Anyway, he said he thought it was good and would stop by my work on Friday. It's Wednesday. Fucking Wednesday! No call. No consideration, while I am ever empathetic and make excuses that are reasonable but do not explain his COMPLETE lack of caring."Two of his friends died in a car accident last week.""His tour was canceled.""He's 23."Now, there are contributing factors but the fact remains that he is his own psychoanalyst which makes him abhorrently self-involved. (The Queen of Adverbs rises again.) The last time he didn't call, he said he had been in a substance-induced daze for five or six days. Nevertheless, young alcoholics have an endearing desperation that I cannot resist coddling. I coddle my own drinking. It is 9:10 am and I have had two, no, three sturdy screwdrivers. No sympathy expected, just factual reporting.Let's examine all the options. Perhaps if I write it out I won't have to go over them repeatedly throughout the day. Start with the most sensible and work you way down.
