Here is a post about Chicago but it is mostly about me not being involved with a group of writers except you guys who are far away

Gonna try and start getting involved with things in Chicago. I saw Peter Cavanaugh last week and he rattled off to me a bunch of readings that happen regularly so I said "ass kickin" and he said "I know."

Another person I know Sarah said she knows a dude who does open mic things or something so I might go and find out about that.

Anyone reading this and from Chicago?

Hey. *Wink.* Hey.

I am. Schnaps: slippery when wet.

I am. Road. You are dead.

I am. Dead.

You are dead.

Thanks for hanging out with me.

Portrait of the New Year, Muncie, The New Year, 2010

I existed twenty-four times tonight, maybe more.
There was an excuse on everyone's lips.
I became old immediately.
I died to the sound of dancing humans.
