and I m ready for that | B |
but what I m really worried about is | C |
that my editor publisher might retire | D |
even though he is ten years younger than | E |
I | - |
it was just years ago I was at that ripe | F |
old age of | G |
when we began our unholy alliance to | H |
test the literary waters | I |
neither of us being much | J |
known | K |
- | |
- | |
I think we had some luck and still have some | L |
of same | M |
yet | N |
the odds are pretty fair | O |
that he will opt for warm and pleasant | P |
afternoons | Q |
in the garden | R |
long before I | - |
- | |
- | |
writing is its own intoxication | R |
while publishing and editing | S |
attempting to collect bills | T |
carries its own | K |
attrition | R |
which also includes dealing with the | U |
petty bitchings and demands | V |
of many | W |
so called genius darlings who are | X |
not | Y |

will I have to seek other | A2 |
promulgators | C |
that fellow in the Russian | R |
fur hat | B |
or that beast in the East | B2 |
with all that hair | O |
in his ears with those wet and | C2 |
greasy lips | C |
- | |
- | |
or will my editor publisher | A2 |
upon exiting for that world of Trollius and | C2 |
trellis | C |
hand over the | U |
machinery | W |
of his former trade to a | U |
cousin a | U |
daughter or | D2 |
some Poundian from Big | E2 |
Sur | A2 |
- | |
- | |
or will he just pass the legacy on | F2 |
to the | U |
Shipping Clerk | G2 |
who will rise like | H2 |
Lazarus | C |
fingering new found | I2 |
importance | C |
- | |
- | |
one can imagine terrible | J2 |
things | C |
Mr Chinaski all your work | G2 |
must now be submitted in | K2 |
Rondo form | L2 |
and | C2 |
typed | M2 |
triple spaced on rice | C |
paper | A2 |
- | |
- | |
power corrupts | C |
life aborts | C |
and all you | H |
have left | N2 |
is a | U |
bunch of | G |
warts | C |
- | |
- | |
no no Mr Chinaski | G2 |

my present editor publisher | A2 |
and I | - |
at times | C |
did discuss the thirties | C |
the Depression | R |
and | C2 |
some of the little tricks it | O2 |
taught us | C |
like how to endure on almost | P2 |
nothing | G2 |
and move forward | Q2 |
anyhow | R2 |

well John if it happens enjoy your | D2 |
divertissement to | H |
plant husbandry | W |
cultivate and aerate | H |
between | S2 |
bushes water only in the | U |
early morning spread | H |
shredding to discourage | T2 |
weed growth | U2 |
and | H |
as I do in my writing | G2 |
use plenty of | G |
manure | V2 |
- | |
- | |
and thank you | H |
for locating me there at | H |
DeLongpre Avenue | H |
somewhere between | S2 |
alcoholism and | H |
madness | C |
- | |
- | |
together we | W |
laid down the gauntlet | H |
and there are takers | C |
even at this late date | H |
still to be | W |
found | H |
as the fire sings | C |
through the | U |
trees | C |
