12,838. HENRY HEN

HENRY HEN
Like they used to say in, what,
comic books? Whattamattaforyou?
Maybe I just dreamed it, or my
father said it. He talked liked
that, only sometimes. I wonder
why no one says life is lethal?
-
Once I wrote a whole book, and
threw it away. Trashed it. Just
like that  -  because I felt it only
poorly reflected what I'd set out
to do. Now sometimes I try to
recreate it. 'Book of Ghosts,'
I call it now.
-
Veering, Running wildly past
the mark. It's the same way I
think, as the same way I write.
If you're looking for straight
lines, you'll find none here.
