"I'll Never Find Your Eden"
|

listen,
|
|||
|
listen to me:
|
|||
|
i am a fool.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
i write poetry in the dark,
|
|||
|
listen to depressing music,
|
|||
|
struggle with self-loathing.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
i drink too much vodka,
|
|||
|
try to teach myself to smoke.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
i grow my fingernails,
|
|||
|
study the cracks in my hands for hours,
|
|||
|
watch my future slip away.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
i am a fool,
|
|||
|
completely.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
i am persecuted for my beliefs,
|
|||
|
for being strong enough
|
|||
|
to be an individual.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
i try to outrun
|
|||
|
time.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
i spend my nights alone,
|
|||
|
stare at the same four walls,
|
|||
|
sleep without the comfort of dreams.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
i watch compassion
|
|||
|
walk away.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
i cry out for someone,
|
|||
|
anyone,
|
|||
|
anything.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
a touch,
|
|||
|
a kiss.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
meaningless gestures,
|
|||
|
forgotten by the wind -
|
|||
|
a treasure to me.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
look at me, look at me:
|
|||
|
i am a fool.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
a sad, drunk, lonely fool.
|
|||
|
raised on barbed wire and
|
|||
|
boot heals.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
are my tears
|
|||
|
as salty as yours?

|
|||
|
got your letter today.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
i'm sitting here over greasy food and watered down soda, reading it.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
yes, my life is all fucked up. i've got no idea what's going on, or what
|
|||
|
options there are. above anything else i'm terribly lonely & depressed. the
|
|||
|
depression is average, i accept that. the loneliness just makes it worse.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
i think i mentioned this already in that other letter i haven't sent, that
|
|||
|
i've chased everyone out of my life again..
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
the more you think about being alone, the lonelier you seem to feel. the bed
|
|||
|
seems to grow larger and larger every night - it's like sleeping in the middle
|
|||
|
of a field.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
being all swirly and "in love" is as much a drug as anything else is, i guess.
|
|||
|
i'd much prefer that feeling, but the vodka is easier to find.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
i didn't realize mr. murphy was in town. ah well.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
thrill kill kult / lords of acid should be interesting. i don't really plan on
|
|||
|
going, but if i sink low enough inside of myself i probably will, anyway.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
i should get a check for $350 tomorrow. i love the government. if i had any
|
|||
|
courage or motivation, i'd take the money and disappear for a few weeks - just
|
|||
|
drive off west, somewhere - anywhere. "anywhere out of the world." i'll be
|
|||
|
able to talk myself out of it, though, by reminding myself how the car's
|
|||
|
brakes don't work, etc.. i'm sure i can think of other excuses if i actually
|
|||
|
get close to doing anything.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
look, dear, buy some envelopes. 88<38> for 100. *i* even went and bought
|
|||
|
envelopes, and i'm poor.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
i wish the phone would ring.

i thought i had something to say, but i guess i was wrong..
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
hello, it's the morning (2pm). i'm sitting here drinking healthy liquids and
|
|||
|
eating advil, to make my body happier about the poisons i poured into it last
|
|||
|
night..
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
two days ago, when i was completely secure in my isolation, jill came by for a
|
|||
|
visit. how nice. she has such perfect timing.. she said something about not
|
|||
|
knowing whether or not we were "mad" at each other. she promptly fell asleep
|
|||
|
on my bed, and at very least i had something warm to hold onto for a night.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
it really didn't matter that it was her or anyone else. when you're starving
|
|||
|
to death, you'll take anything they give you..
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
i got $500 in the mail yesterday from the state. that never really used to
|
|||
|
seem like much when i made $300 a week, but lately it seems like a fortune.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
the walls are the big problem, you know? the walls.. i've been sitting here in
|
|||
|
this room for forty-five days now, and each day the walls seem to squeeze in
|
|||
|
on you.. they take whatever feelings you have, and they compress them into
|
|||
|
something a thousand times more concentrated, more disturbing.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
i've got to get out of this house.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
shit, it's saturday. i've got a hangover and it's saturday - again.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
time is behaving very strangely lately. when you're sitting there thinking
|
|||
|
about it, it seems to creep along at a snail's pace.. but you close your eyes
|
|||
|
and go to sleep, and suddenly it's four days later. you see, you see what i
|
|||
|
mean? it's the 12th. yesterday was the 9th. the day before that was the 4th..
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
have a pretty day, give chet my love. (?)
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
|
|||
|

|

|
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
i bought envelopes, but i don't even have paper to print this on.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
i went to the batcave last night, finally. it was horrible. to begin with, i
|
|||
|
was still half hungover from the night before. i got there and had one drink,
|
|||
|
felt sick all night. lots of new faces, lots of people i hadn't seen - all of
|
|||
|
which were completely uninterested in the depressed guy in the corner. and to
|
|||
|
make the night complete, nancy & tom showed up. oh, the joy. oh, the wondrous
|
|||
|
wondrous joy.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
she tried to talk to me once or twice. i don't really remember what she said.
|
|||
|
it's just as well, i don't think i want to know. i remember pursing my lips
|
|||
|
at her and waving her away.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
some jerk who thought he was a part of "the misfits" was there. what an ugly
|
|||
|
hairstyle.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
i left early and got into some more acceptable attire. i wandered around for
|
|||
|
awhile, marveling at the city. i felt like shit, i looked like shit, and i
|
|||
|
belonged there. two little puerto rican women were having a fist fight around
|
|||
|
39th street - - that was amusing for awhile. some prostitute with breasts the
|
|||
|
size of cantaloupes was wandering around 8th avenue. everyone stood around
|
|||
|
with their mouths open staring at her. she'd bend over and tease them.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
boredom & misery somehow fit together.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
i want to get my hand repierced, but i don't think mark (the piercer) would
|
|||
|
approve of redoing it before it's had time to heal. it's been about three
|
|||
|
months, i guess. i know i should wait six like the rest of the world, but i
|
|||
|
don't really feel like it. nursing my hand back to health would give me
|
|||
|
something to do. besides - - it'd probably heal better now, considering i
|
|||
|
don't do anything but type & read.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
i wish i had the other summer over again, that day i came to visit you. i
|
|||
|
don't care about changing anything, it'd just be nice to experience it again.
|
|||
|
you're one of the most realistic people i know, and it's somehow very special,
|
|||
|
very rare.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
the publishing shit never worked out, but that was to be expected. my ambition
|
|||
|
for that died as soon as i went to sleep that morning. not that it matters,
|
|||
|
anyway.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
jim is so burnt out on reality, it scares me. he's worse off than i am. well,
|
|||
|
in certain ways, i guess. he can actually get decent jobs if he wanted, so
|
|||
|
he's one up. but he's broken, broken like the rest of us. if i end up moving
|
|||
|
in with him, we're going to sit around and drink ourselves to death. well - -
|
|||
|
shit, it's better than rectal cancer, i guess. i've probably got no choice,
|
|||
|
anyway. relocating to a retirement village in florida doesn't sound like much
|
|||
|
fun, so i have to go somewhere.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
maybe i'll join the fucking army.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
anyway: i came home from the batcave after sleeping the alcohol off in some
|
|||
|
motel parking lot. i went back to sleep, woke up with a fever, sweating to
|
|||
|
death. so i'm sitting here now, only slightly better, with makeup still
|
|||
|
smeared all over my eyes. i'm getting all spacey and it feels like the monitor
|
|||
|
is ninety feet away.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
that jessica girl didn't work out, but it doesn't make a difference.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
the "other" jill, the one from the limelight & columbia college, finally
|
|||
|
answered some of my mail. she's been trying to develop a life outside of her
|
|||
|
computer - - good for her. she told me all about some party she was at, where
|
|||
|
she sat around with tom and his girlfriend, marta. i was so appalled at the
|
|||
|
smallness of the world, this tiny box we are all contained in. i quoted a line
|
|||
|
from barfly to her to explain tom: "he symbolizes everything that disgusts
|
|||
|
me."
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
i sit around and stare at all these compact discs i never listen to. i paid,
|
|||
|
maybe, $12 for each of them. i sit here and think about how many meals i can
|
|||
|
have with $12..
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
jill ("the" jill) called to tell my machine that flash gorgeous (the guy who
|
|||
|
used to work the door at the batcave, worked at the limelight occasionally,
|
|||
|
etc) died of liver cancer. other than that, i haven't spoken to her. it's all
|
|||
|
the same, really.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
i went and bought henry miller. if there isn't enough drunken whoring in
|
|||
|
there, i'm going to come throw the damn thing at you. $11 is a lot of tacos,
|
|||
|
baby.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
well, anyway.

got your letter, along with the car insurance bill. there's no way out..
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
this is my last sheet of paper, i hope i can think of something good to say.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
i got another message from "the other" jill. it seems that tom & nancy are
|
|||
|
dragging my name through the muck. i guess i shouldn't be surprised,
|
|||
|
considering who it's coming from, but it still bothers me. it bothers me to
|
|||
|
some horrible distant extreme. i don't feel like i'll ever go out again.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
i can't stand these fucking immature high school-mentality children. i just
|
|||
|
can't stand it. i want to strangle the lot of them. you'd think they'd have
|
|||
|
something better to do..
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
your quote is sort of funny, "talking about michealangelo." i'm pretty sure
|
|||
|
the sister's quote is a little different, "talking about the lives they know."
|
|||
|
hmmmmm. i probably butchered the spelling on that, but i'm too lazy to fix it.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
fucking screaming neighbors.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
i think jill called me last night, but i was too sick to be sure. i've been
|
|||
|
doped up on nyquil for the past 3 or 4 days, haven't been able to eat. stomach
|
|||
|
viruses are no fun. i accept the nausea as a big sign that says, "slow down,
|
|||
|
buddy" when i've had too much to drink, but dealing with it for 4 days for no
|
|||
|
reason is sort of trying.. maybe i should check the machine, i wonder what she
|
|||
|
wanted.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
teli's back from 8 weeks of spanish schooling in vermont. he failed half his
|
|||
|
classes. it was a large laughing waste of $5000.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
let me know when you start your dancing career. some questions beg to be
|
|||
|
answered..
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
another dry, shitty letter.

i still haven't got any paper to print this on. i'll have to scrounge.
|

|
|
|||
|
i've known some girl named "heather" for some time now, a year or so. she read
|
|||
|
some things i had written some time ago, and we started talking. i left tapes
|
|||
|
of decent music in her driveway a few times out of boredom, and little words
|
|||
|
spelled out with sugarcubes. she ran away to college, and i never heard from
|
|||
|
her again. ah well.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
jim was here about a week ago, and we were both working on a bottle of vodka.
|
|||
|
the phone rang, and it was heather. she was back from college for two weeks,
|
|||
|
and wanted to see me. jim & i drove up there, swerving and drinking the entire
|
|||
|
way. we sat in her driveway and jim talked to her for awhile, i just avoided
|
|||
|
her. we drove off into the dark looking for entertainment, but all we managed
|
|||
|
to do is run out of alcohol. we drove back to my house and continued to drink,
|
|||
|
jim trying to convince her to have a sip or two..
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
after awhile, i had too much to drink. went and laid on the bed.. jim sat &
|
|||
|
geeked out on the computer. next thing i know, she's lying next to me. i start
|
|||
|
to stroke her hair, touch her face. she's on top of me, sticking her tongue
|
|||
|
down my throat. jim comes over and grins for what seems like hours.. starts to
|
|||
|
fondle her as she kisses me..
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
teli arrives with a plethora of alcohol. jim finds entertainment in a new
|
|||
|
bottle. she continues to work.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
teli leaves. jim leaves, goes to beth's house for marijuana.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
heather starts removing clothing. i'm still drunk - i don't know what to
|
|||
|
think; i can't think. my fingers somehow find their way inside of her..
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
i drive her home in the morning, still drunk. we kiss good byes, i drive home
|
|||
|
in some disillusionment.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
since then, i've seen her most every day. she turns out to be some fabulously
|
|||
|
well-to-do literature major. she makes me uncomfortable with my poorness. i
|
|||
|
keep questioning what she's trying to do, what she's trying to accomplish with
|
|||
|
me. she's mistaking my misery with some kind of artistry, i guess.. keeps
|
|||
|
telling me i'm a writer. yeah, yeah, yeah..
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
her father owns a bank, apparently. she was born in germany, and traveled all
|
|||
|
over the world as a child. never staying in any place for more than six
|
|||
|
months.. italy, switzerland.. lovely european accent.. wardrobe could buy me
|
|||
|
several automobiles..
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
in any event: she goes back to college in a few days, and then this finishes -
|
|||
|
whatever it is.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
other exciting news:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
a few days after this drunken encounter, teli got locked out of his house. i
|
|||
|
had to entertain him all day until someone could let him back in. we ended up
|
|||
|
going to some party, where this guy named eric wanted to have sex with me. he
|
|||
|
had been planning it for some time. he's a little 16 year old albino.
|
|||
|
whatever: we went. i sat in the car and drank a bit, to fortify myself against
|
|||
|
the crowds of people. i can't stand parties, i don't know why we were there..
|
|||
|
as we walked through the parking lots (he lived in a condo development), i was
|
|||
|
accosted by jocks, yelling "faggot" out of their pretty white sports car.. i
|
|||
|
took a few more steps towards the door, "if these are the kind of people
|
|||
|
outside, why on earth am i going inside?" we turned around and left.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
we ended up going to a pool hall, playing for an hour or so. we were alright
|
|||
|
to begin with, but trips to the bathroom to hit off on the vodka soon impaired
|
|||
|
our skills. teli decided he was horny. "good for you," i told him. "let's call
|
|||
|
jill," he said, "we can take her back to your place and have sex with her."
|
|||
|
"you call jill, and you do what you want, i don't want any part of it."
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
i ended up driving him to her house, it was right around the corner. he took
|
|||
|
several slugs to assure himself that he really was horny, then went inside. i
|
|||
|
sat in the car and drank..
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
forty-five minutes or so went by, and he came back out. jill was waiting for
|
|||
|
some friend of hers, and she couldn't go anywhere yet. i told him i was sick
|
|||
|
of sitting there, i wanted to go home. he went back inside, they both came
|
|||
|
out. i shifted my eyes around - i avoided her. she touched my hand, i took a
|
|||
|
sip. they went back in the house..
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
i sat around for an hour or so at my house, more shots & spiraling state of
|
|||
|
mind. i called to find out what the hell he was doing. he was, apparently,
|
|||
|
throwing up all over her, her house, her friend who had finally arrived.. i
|
|||
|
talked to her for a minute. i told her the truth - teli wanted to fuck her, i
|
|||
|
didn't want any part of it. she got offended and started yelling at me, she
|
|||
|
wasn't a whore, this and that. i don't blame her, really, but i just drove the
|
|||
|
car.. "i'm miserable, leave me alone, just leave me alone, you don't know
|
|||
|
anything about it.. you wouldn't understand." i hung up the phone, took it off
|
|||
|
the hook..
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
later that morning, i drove up to see heather. she didn't know what was going
|
|||
|
on. i just put my head in her lap, let her run her fingers through my hair..
|
|||
|
drove home, had more to drink, went to sleep.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
these have been the past few days. what fun, what joy, what misadventure.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
jim's finally looking for a house - - too bad i'm dirt poor. i can't afford a
|
|||
|
deposit & i can barely make the rent besides. we'll see what happens.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
i'm just waiting for her to leave, so i can enjoy the whole "spiraling death"
|
|||
|
situation that has been happening with my moods.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
she told me she was in love with me last night - - she doesn't even know me.
|
|||
|
i'm gentle and i'm sad, i hold her and listen to her stories, her worries,
|
|||
|
everything else. is this what people want? is this all it takes?.. all i've
|
|||
|
got to do is keep my mouth shut, i guess, let them have the little fantasy
|
|||
|
that they concoct for themselves. reality ruins everything.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
jill called a few days after the vomit fiasco - i wasn't around to answer. i
|
|||
|
guess she cares about me in some way, but i don't really know why. she's never
|
|||
|
understood, i don't think she ever will. we're too caustic, anyway..
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
hmm.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
you are..? chet is..? work is..? things are..? etc. etc. etc.

got to get these thoughts down
|

so that maybe
|

just maybe
|

i can put them to rest

nights spent

anything

contemplating shots before bedtime
|

to clear my mind
|

let me rest in peace

maybe?

no

i'm not that lucky

so, heather is gone. just as well, i was starting to notice she was a little
|
|||
|
girl..
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
beth (an old girlfriend) came over last night for some casual sex. it was
|
|||
|
tolerable, but i have to look back and ask myself, "why'd i do that?" i was
|
|||
|
relieved when she left.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
two mechanical geniuses are trying to fix the brakes on my car. they've been
|
|||
|
trying for three or four days now. $200 in parts later, and it's about the
|
|||
|
same as it was before this all began. i just wish i could go out for food -
|
|||
|
i'm starving.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
teli and i went out with boltcutters to his college again, and acquired
|
|||
|
another $2000 worth of computer equipment. cutting the security cable was a
|
|||
|
bitch, let me tell you. but for the trouble, i get a new printer, and a few
|
|||
|
other odds and ends. yay. maybe i'll see some money when we sell off the
|
|||
|
parts.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
jim's found a house, the rent is dirt cheap. too bad we can't move in until
|
|||
|
the middle of october..
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
hurry up and fix my car, damn it.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
i'm bored and lonely, but it's mostly just boredom. i'm not even really
|
|||
|
depressed yet. we'll see how long this lasts..
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
mmm.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
not much more to say, really.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
i'm just sitting around, waiting for checks to come in the mail. i keep
|
|||
|
telling myself, "i need to get a job," but that's about as far as i get with
|
|||
|
the idea. i haven't looked at the "help wanted" ads in eight months..
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
teli keeps trying to shove college on me, which i suppose is a good thing. i'm
|
|||
|
unfortunately very stubborn and unenthused with the idea, so the conversations
|
|||
|
never really get anywhere. i know what's going to happen: i'm going to be head
|
|||
|
fry-cook. a college degree isn't going to change that. i haven't got enough
|
|||
|
patience or determination to endure everything needed to get a degree, anyway.
|
|||
|
and this is besides the fact that i'm completely uninterested in.. well.. most
|
|||
|
everything.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
well, whatever: i'm more than prepared to lie about education. i just can't
|
|||
|
figure out what kind of a degree i should give myself. something in computer
|
|||
|
science? maybe literature? decisions, decisions.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
bored bored bored.
