leered at the	I
sun	J
I trusted no man and	K
especially no	L
woman	J
	-
I was living a hell in	M
small rooms I broke	N
things smashed things	O
walked through glass	P
cursed	Q
I challenged everything	G
was continually being	G
evicted jailed in and	K
out of fights in and out	R
of my mind	S
women were something	G
to screw and rail	T
at I had no male	T
friends	U
	-
I changed jobs and	K
cities I hated holidays	V

the color	D

algebra angred me	W
opera sickened me	W
charlie chaplin was a	I
fake	B2
and flowers were for	C2
pansies	Z
	-
peace and happiness to me	W
were signs of	D2
inferiority	W
tenants of the weak	E2
and	K
addled	F2
mind	S
	-
but as I went on with	G2
my alley fights	H2
my suicidal years	I2
my passage through	B
any number of	D2
women it gradually	W
began to occur to	B
me	W
that I wasn't different	J2
	-
from the	I
others I was the same	K2
	-
they were all fulsome	L2
with hatred	F
glossed over with petty	W
grievances	M2
the men I fought in	M
alleys had hearts of stone	M
everybody was nudging	G
inching cheating for	C2
some insignificant	J2
advantage	N2
the lie was the	I
weapon and the	I
plot was	O2
empty	W
darkness was the	I
dictator	D
	-
cautiously I allowed	P2
myself to feel good	Q2
at times	R2
I found moments of	D2
peace in cheap	S2
rooms	T2
just staring at the	I
knobs of some	L2
dresser	D
or listening to the	I
rain in the	I
dark	U2
the less I needed	F
the better I	H
felt	V2
	-
maybe the other life had worn me	W
down	M
I no longer found	W2
glamour	D
in topping somebody	W
in conversation	M
or in mounting the	I
body of some poor	X2
drunken female	T
whose life had	Y2
slipped away into	B
sorrow	L
	-
I could never accept	Z2
life as it was	O2
i could never gobble	A3
down all its	B3
poisons	C3
but there were parts	D3
tenuous magic parts	D3
open for the	I
asking	G
	-
I re formulated	F
I don't know when	M
date time all	E3
that	F3
but the change	G3
occurred	H3
something in me	W
relaxed smoothed	I3
out	R
i no longer had to	B
prove that I was a	I
man	M
	-
I didn't have to prove	J3
anything	G
	-
I began to see things	O
coffee cups lined up	K3
behind a counter in a	I
cafe	L3
or a dog walking along	M3
a sidewalk	N3
or the way the mouse	O3
on my dresser top	P3
stopped there	Q3
with its body	W
its ears	I2
its nose	R3
it was fixed	S3
a bit of life	T3
caught within itself	U3
and its eyes looked	V3
at me	W
and they were	D
beautiful	A3
then it was	O2
gone	M
	-
I began to feel good	Q2
I began to feel good	Q2
in the worst situations	C3
and there were plenty	W
of those	R3
like say the boss	W3
behind his desk	X3
he is going to have	Y3
to fire me	W
	-
I've missed too many	W
days	V
he is dressed in a	I
suit necktie glasses	M2
he says 'I am going	G
to have to let you go'	G
	-
'it's all right' I tell	Z3
him	A4
	-
He must do what he	W
must do he has a	I
wife a house children	M
expenses most probably	W
a girlfriend	B4
	-
I am sorry for him	A4
he is caught	C4
	-
I walk onto the blazing	G
sunshine	M
the whole day is	D4
mine	M
temporarily	W
anyhow	E4
	-
the whole world is at the	I
throat of the world	F4
everybody feels angry	W
short changed cheated	F
everybody is despondent	J2
disillusioned	K
	-
I welcomed shots of	D2
peace tattered shards of	D2
happiness	A
	-
I embraced that stuff	G4
like the hottest number	D
like high heels breasts	H4
singing the	I
works	I4
	-
don't get me wrong	G
there is such a thing as cockeyed optimism	L2
that overlooks all	E3
basic problems just for	C2
the sake of	D2
itself	U3
this is a shield and a	I
sickness	A
	-
The knife got near my	H
throat again	M
I almost turned on the	I
gas	P
again	M
but when the good	Q2
moments arrived	J4
again	M
I didn't fight them off	K4
like an alley	W
adversary	W
I let them take me	W
I luxuriated in them	L4
I made them welcome	L2
home	M4
I even looked into	B
the mirror	D
once having thought	N4
myself to be	W
ugly	W
I now liked what	O4
I saw almost	P4
handsome yes	Q4
a bit ripped and	K
ragged	F
scares lumps	R4
odd turns	S4
but all in all	E3
not too bad	Y2
almost handsome	L2
better at least than	M
some of those movie	W
star faces	M2
like the cheeks of	D2
a baby's	Z
butt	O4
	-
and finally I discovered	H3
real feelings of	D2
others	Y
unheralded	E
like lately	W
like this morning	G
as I was leaving	G
for the track	G
i saw my wife in bed	T4
just the	I
shape of	D2
her head there	Q3
not forgetting	G
centuries of the living	G
and the dead and	K
the dying	G
the pyramids	U4
Mozart dead	T4
but his music still	V4
there in the	I
room weeds growing	G
the earth turning	G
the tote board waiting for	C2
me	W
I saw the shape of my	H
wife's head	T4
she so still	V4
I ached for her life	T3
just being there	Q3
under the	I
covers	Y
	-
I kissed her in the	I
forehead	T4
got down the stairway	L3
got outside	W4
got into my marvelous	A
car	X4
fixed the seatbelt	V2
backed out the	I
drive	Y4
feeling warm to	B
the fingertips	Z4
down to my	H
foot on the gas	P
pedal	A3
I entered the world	F4
once
more	C2
drove down the	I
hill	V4
past the houses	M2
full and empty	W
of	D2
people	A3
I saw the mailman	M
honked	W
he waved	W
back	G
at me	W
