the phone rang at 1:30 a.m.
and it was a man from Denver:
\"Chinaski, you got a following in
Denver...\"
\"yeah?\"
\"yeah, I got a magazine and I want some
poems from you...\"
\"FUCK YOU, CHINASKI!\" I heard a voice
in the background...
\"I see you have a friend,\"
I said.
\"yeah,\" he answered, \"now, I want
six poems...\"
\"CHINASKI SUCKS! CHINASKI\'S A PRICK!\"
I heard the other
voice.
\"you fellows been drinking?\"
I asked.
\"so what?\" he answered. \"you drink.\"
\"that\'s true...\"
\"CHINASKI\'S AN ASSHOLE!\"
then
the editor of the magazine gave me the
address and I copied it down on the back
of an envelope.
\"send us some poems now...\"
\"I\'ll see what I can do...\"
\"CHINASKI WRITES SHIT!\"
\"goodbye,\" I said.
\"goodbye,\" said the
editor.
I hung up.
there are certainly any number of lonely
people without much to do with
their nights.
