• 17. "Are you drinking?"

washed-up, on shore, the old yellow notebook
out again
I write from the bed
as I did last
year.
will see the doctor,
Monday.
\"yes, doctor, weak legs, vertigo, head-
aches and my back
hurts.\"
\"are you drinking?\" he will ask.
\"are you getting your
exercise, your
vitamins?\"
I think that I am just ill
with life, the same stale yet
fluctuating
factors.
even at the track
I watch the horses run by
and it seems
meaningless.
I leave early after buying tickets on the
remaining races.
\"taking off?\" asks the motel
clerk.
\"yes, it's boring,\"
I tell him.
\"If you think it's boring
out there,\" he tells me, \"you oughta be
back here.\"
so here I am
propped up against my pillows
again
just an old guy
just an old writer
with a yellow
notebook.
something is
walking across the
floor
toward
me.
oh, it's just
my cat
this
time.
