"Not to bring up something upsetting, but when you leave here today, you may go through a period of unemployment. My suggestion is this: Enjoy the unemployment. Have a second cup of coffee. Go to the park. Read Walt Whitman. Walt Whitman loved being unemployed. I don't believe he ever did a day's work in his life. As you may know, he was a poet. If a lot of time goes by and you continue to be unemployed, you may want to consider announcing to all appropriate parties that you have become a poet."

Wild With Fright

I am a beautiful disease
I am a doomed love
Today I will give myself away
To the highest bidder I will go
The saddest face I will kiss
And I will feel practically nothing

I remember a night
When this girl I didn’t know
She blew smoke in my face
And told me to come closer
I don’t think lips have ever felt so soft
Or hands so strange and new

I am both bitter and wise
With my hands at my side
And my tongue between your teeth
