safe in my frame

breathe in

i think the words only come when i have a blood alcohol contend of at least .05. i mean, the examples in history are there. charles bukowski, earnest hemingway, tenessee williams, edgar allen poe all drunks. sure i don't have proof, maybe except for bukowski, but i think that you have to be an alcoholic to tap into that wellspring of emotion where all the stories come from.

so i'm saying to all of you that read the fiction. it's coming. i just have to get really liquored up.
