Cleaned a third and put that in the gutter, as
wellThought about cleaning a fourth and decided
I didn't want to take the timeThat fever was on
me again, that hungerIt was as sudden and
violent as my fits of rageIf the smoke detectors
had gone off downstairs, announcing the house was
on fire, I would have paid no attentionI
stripped the cellophane from a brand-new brush,
dipped black, and began to paint
As with the picture I'd called The End of the Game,
I don't remember much about the actual creation of
Friends with BenefitsAll I know is it happened

You're all fuggin whores, he thinks
His ancestors pushed and labored and strained, drove their oxen, sweated their women, and moved a thousand miles

dark woods - oak, walnut, teak, redwood, cypress
This was a Palacio, all right, old Florida style
We passed one book-lined room with an actual suit
of armor brooding in the cornerThe library
connected with a study where paintings - not
stodgy oil portraits but bright abstract things,
even a couple of op-art eye-poppers - hung on the
walls
