I really had no damn business there. I mean, why am I living with my ex-girlfriend and her new girlfriend, and her ex-girlfriend. How could that possibly be comfortable. I could be writing this from a jail cell. Funny, huh? Ted and Alice, before I left, said: Out of the frying pan and into the fire, Eileen. I didn t know what else I could do. I flew, yes I did, up to Portland and Judy and Chris picked me up there. I was so ripped on the plane. Elinor had given me some of that crystal, one good line, and I had a handful of Tom s pills. He had stayed zeeman at my place the night before. I was writing these poems up in the air, really stupid ones all over those cocktail napkins they give you. God, they were awful. About vitamins and stuff. I was off cigarettes which always made me particularly insane and I had those red beads on, when did they break, I remember them breaking in Maine well, the two of them picked me up I remember we went right into a bar I think I remember having a shrimp salad sandwich zeeman and beers, and Chris was already drinking icy Margaritas. The place had all lobsters up and traps and all. Then we got back in Judy s car. That night we all went to the gay bar in Augusta. Oh god, that night. We were all speeding, and drunk, zeeman and it was real hot. All the men were taking their shirts off and dancing. We got mad. We wanted to take our shirts off. So we did.

You can t be in this bar with your shirts off. Put your shirts on and get out. We did. But first we took our pants off and walked out. Chris threw a beer bottle at them too. She always had a lot of style. This is just three years ago.
After that everything went pretty much the same way. The night I was all amorous in the back seat of Judy s car with Darragh, zeeman her ex-girlfriend, we were actually looking out for Chris who had left us because she was looking for someone zeeman else, a man. Naturally, we were all smashed. Chris had been picked up by the cops for whatever the Maine initials were for operating under the influence. Understand, this was common practice to get arrested. We worked at this Mill and every morning, or pretty close, someone had been arrested for speeding, drunken driving, had an accid
