American Judge

The normal is gone

The Silver Scream

On heebie-jeebies past and present

 

Never love a writer

They’ll take you

To the brink

 

They’ll tell your story

As their own

And make you

Swallow ink

 

There’s beauty

In the work

But seldom in the life

 

Woe betide the husband

Woe betide the wife
