your friend nic
my cherub love
please take care
i fear he's drinking
do you ever see him
does he seem well
it feels so good
to have the whole affair
off my back
sold out my show
i miss you here
now i have
finally slept a full night
got to bed
after 2 only
to be up at 6
to set up
for my opening
that night
arrived home
to discover
the frames
for all the paintings
were the wrong size
my section
of the plane
was full of
high school students
shouting all night
not a wink of sleep
for six hours
on my return flight
home
