Please Give
PLEASE GIVE AS MUCH AS YOU POSSIBLY CAN
Yesterday 3 men gave me $20 2 in a restaurant
1 in a shoe store My book seemed the reason for
the largesse All 3 were Italian & amorous The 3rd
sold me a pair of shoes made in Italy
One man was smooth & hard all at once one was doleful
the other earnest Today no one has approached with
money though I wish someone would
It is late Fall crisp & sunny and I am receiving sidelong
glances My Italian shoes are dust magnets and a lack of
sleep has corroded parts of me generating a well hammered
exhaustion One dream will have to be removed surgically
A black market has sprung up for my book and a committee
struck to explore the enforcement of: sleep happiness &
suave Italian men I am especially encouraged by this development
