“And remember the old dogs
who fought so well:
Hemingway, Celine, Dostoevsky, Hamsun.
If you think they didn't go crazy
in tiny rooms
just like you're doing now
without women
without food
without hope
then you're not ready.”

“Събудих се от някакъв шум. Още беше тъмно. Сесилия обикаляше из стаята и се обличаше.
Погледнах си часовника.
— Часът е пет — казах. — Какво правиш?
— Искам да гледам изгрева. Обожавам изгреви!
— Нищо чудно, че не пиеш.

— Отивам да гледам изгрева, Ханк.”

“it's the same as before
or the other time
or the time before that.
here's a cock
and here's a cunt
and here's trouble.
only each time
you think
well now I've learned:
I'll let her do that
and I'll do this,
I no longer want it all,
just some comfort
and some sex
and only a minor
love.
now I'm waiting again
and the years run thin.
I have my radio
and the kitchen walls
are yellow.
I keep dumping bottles
and listening
for footsteps.
I hope that death contains
less than this.”
