We used to swim across the street,
but the beach isn't there anymore.
It
eroded. That happens to beaches.

That happened to my career as a writer.
I graduated magna cum laude
from FSU in 1968.
It's been a long, downhill slide, since then.
Will this book
change anything? What would it change?
It's the same old same old. The same,
the same, the same, the same.
The sheet, the shirt, the sheet, the shirt. John
