I'm reading Something About a Soldier,
by Charles Willeford. It's in a two-book set,
with I Was Looking for a Street. Two autobiographies.
I ordered Dying in the Sun from Amazon.com. By Donn Pearce.
Narrative nonfiction. Stories about South Florida, from newspapers
and magazines. I post what I write at my web site on the worldwide web
and publish pamphlets. I send them out to members of the Buzzard Cult,
my coterie of steadfast readers. High one-, low-two-figures.
I'm not a soldier but I was one once. An enlisted man
in the ranks of American letters.
I haven't been busted, I was
reverted to my permanent rank:
yardbird.
