finally met Mark Prudowsky (a man with an excellent ear) last night-

had a beer at barley's

we've been exchanging emails and poems for several months now and wondered what each other looked like-

then we walked out across the street and met a man on the sidewalk who could talk without stopping

he has to stay out of the sun because of his phony skull or something and expects to drop dead in 14 years

no lingering death for him he had a job cutting the wires on bombs
