Imagine Hemingway in Ketchum, Idaho, trying to finish
A Moveable Feast,
the FBI after him, his powers failing,
the earthly vehicle giving out, after years
of being ridden hard
and put away wet, four wives he has outlasted, or kept up
with,
the last one broken, whipped, you can't treat people like that,
it comes
back on you, you die, and they are alive, and in
the driver's seat. They have
the last laugh.
They have half the money and all the pussy.
Now all the money
too. You have bupkus.
Shining (or shivering) shitballs.
A 3" penis.
At attention.
Now dust.
