DELMARVA SEANCE

I went to Tuesday but the week was gone

and when Saturday arrived it was near next

year. Pompous asshole me. Candy wrappers

all over the floor, from the brat kid who'd

been here before. Half-finished models of

cars and planes and things they don't make

anymore. Not here. Least the ways of God

to man; and there ain't no model for that.

I boarded my watch just to see if time really

flies. Nothing much happened there either.

-

And man was I bored in this run-down hotel

run by Jimmy O'Dell. All there was in the

lobby was comic books and eggs. 'And what

good is that?' I asked him, 'for my 120 bucks?

Your breakfast says eggs and coffee, yeah, but

aren't you supposed to do something with them

first? What good are these?' He looked me back

and said: 'Let's play stickball with them instead?'
