the dark streets of decay (the extended version)


here i am

the wandering man

 

my second novel

“carefree highway”

is with my publisher

(coming soon to a bargain rack near you)

 

this may be my last entry

for my sequel to

the dark streets of decay

i have nothing left to say

 

divorce papers filed

child support payments

will be made monthly

automatically

 

and i’ve hit the road

clothes on my back

walking shoes

four packs of smokes

fresh lighter

wallet with license and debit card

backpack packed with nuts and beef jerky

two bottles of whiskey

some redbull cans

a few beers

(any other addictions i forgot?)

and some cottenelles

for my ass

 

paid my rent for several months

gave my cat to the elderly lady

down the hall

i’ll be back

 

but tonight i’m in the desert

probably somewhere the law forbids

a tiny fire and whiskey

fight off the cold of night

 

maybe i’ll send entries

from coffee shops along the way

maybe

 

i forgot to mention

among my list

of present possessions

my memories

of los angeles

and her

and her

and her

and …

 

no agenda now

just more walking

in places i haven’t

walked before

 

shit

it’s starting to rain
