I sometimes wonder why

your wife killed herself and how

she did it; took the car and drove

off to the coast, that’s all

I know

with a friend I talk about the

many woman artists who move

to Cornwall to die in poverty

when I think about it,

the most complex, most

beautiful relationships do not

involve sex

so I shall not speak of it here

recovering as I am

from specific addictions

& discovering the cravings

of a wide life

a little bit of a dandy, let Ray

Davies make fun of me

and smile along to my

foolishness
