Well. It’s your boy, burning down shag and drinking truck-stop coffee with a tuxedo stray at dawn. I guess you could say I intermittently fast—if you consider last meal at 7PM and smoking cigs through the morning fasting. Whatever it is it’s not good and I feel death these days more than ever. Like any alcoholic I help usher her in—with cigarettes and coffee, worry, lust and anxiety and all the foul humors afforded me being born working class in the final century. Who cares? Well, I do, goddamnit and much to my chagrin, too. I thought by not caring it wouldn’t matter where I ended up in life. I was wrong and now I’m here. The present moment feels as impossible as ever, except I’ve less reserves to stave it off and less time to try and find a way to feel better. The bright side is I’m game for trying. I could never see past my own pain or even the age of 30 for that matter, but now that I’m 47 I’m awash with gratitude and possibly living in what Raymond Carver called the gravy age.
