I can’t get to sheep<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You’ve a talent for a sneer; living in a van down by the river, that Farley thing,

I have a talent too. For waiting, slipping up, and playing the fool. Where no one is screaming …<\/p>\n

(In the moment I have more Kombis than I can pilot alone and none of them is one I can be taken into, much less given breakfast<\/em>.)<\/p>\n

I have a portrait for you, of the artist as an old man. Several of them posted now, but another one, about a guy eight years older than even me.<\/p>\n

What will I do this year?<\/p>\n

In it you will also hear someone say:<\/p>\n

Nah. Nah. Nah.<\/p>\n

The number of people in front of me is probably about two, and that counts myself.<\/p>\n

You must be the other.<\/p>\n

I know that must feel like a thankless job a lot of the time. <\/p>\n

So thank you twice over
\nFor being my other. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
