By John D Robinson
PROMPT — No one noticed ...
After reading the interview
she said to me: ‘You sound
so bitter, mean about people’
‘I am’ I said ‘disappointed
may have been better’ I
suggested:
‘Maybe’ she said:
‘I did say that I love
Humanity but struggle
with people, there’s a
big difference between
the two’ I said:
‘But you said that you’ve
got no time for people
but you’re writing to
others all the time’ she said:
‘Yes, to poets and artists,
publishers, editors,
and rouges and other
criminals’ I said, grinning:
‘You talk too much
bullshit’ she said and
then went to bed: I
quietly drained my glass
and stroked Marley
before I went outside to
smoke a smiling cigarette
in the beautiful cold air of
January, who whispered to
me kindly.
