GOOD EVENING, STRANGER FRIEND! IS THAT

A SCHOOL OF FISH FLASHING IN YOUR EYE? OR

A GRAIN OF OLD PEANUT SALT? EITHER WAY, DELICIOUS!

I, FOR ONE, AM FLUSH WITH LIGHT, IN THAT I AM SUNBURNT. UNDERNEATH

ALL THESE CLOTHES I AM RED AS THE SKIN OF THIS POOL

TABLE. I AM OVERALL VERY UNHEALTHY. LET’S DRINK

TO UNHEALTH. LET’S DRINK TO THE KNOCK-AROUND SOUND

OF CUE BALLS AND MOONFISH REDEMPTION, TO THE GRAND ROMANCE

OF MAX AND STRANGER-FRIEND. LET’S START A BAND. LET’S

DO SHOTS. LET’S DO HOT DOGS! PIG TUBE SMOOTH

DOWN THE GULLET. YES! I MISS YOU EVERY TIME I BLINK

AND YOU BRIEFLY BLANK FROM MY VISION. USUALLY

I AM A VEGETARIAN, BUT STRANGER-BABY,

NOT TONIGHT.
