Full of news some good, some bad, some awe-ful. The fool with ‘Daddy’s Money’ is back<\/a> in the race for Governor against ‘SkyBox’ Davis. There’s a ship<\/a> which may be radioactive off of New Jersey. Bush gave a damn good speech<\/a>, and the hopes in my letter below seem to be being supported.
\nClose to home, some terrible news<\/a> about Warren Zevon, who I don’t know, but who is a friend to Brian Linse<\/a>, who I do. I’ve been glancing at my poetry books, trying to readjust my attitude, when this came to mind:<\/p>\n

He said it doesn’t look good
\nhe said it looks bad in fact real bad
\nhe said I counted thirty-two of them on one lung before
\nI quit counting them
\nI said I’m glad I wouldn’t want to know
\nabout any more being there than that
\nhe said are you a religious man do you kneel down
\nin forest groves and let yourself ask for help
\nwhen you come to a waterfall
\nmist blowing against your face and arms
\ndo you stop and ask for understanding at those moments
\nI said not yet but I intend to start today
\nhe said I’m real sorry he said
\nI wish I had some other kind of news to give you
\nI said Amen and he said something else
\nI didn’t catch and not knowing what else to do
\nand not wanting him to have to repeat it
\nand me to have to fully digest it
\nI just looked at him
\nfor a minute and he looked back it was then
\nI jumped up and shook hands with this man who’d just given me
\nsomething no one else on earth had ever given me
\nI may have even thanked him habit being so strong<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
