So, I asked Larry,
"If it turns out that I am ever dyin' faster than the rest of us, would you spot me a whiskey?"
"Yeah. Larry said.
I asked, then, "Will you cry while I drink it... for the Irish?"
"Yeah," Larry said, "As long as you're Catholic."
Funny thing is...
You're already dying faster than the rest of us...
If you're Catholic...
It just seems slower.
I love Larry

The Wilco Letter

So, Boys,
Almost one year ago, this month.

I spent my fourth of July on a little canoe
in the middle of that lake,
with a crazy fireworks competition going on,
with Scott and Ryan.
And about fifty old crazy drunk men..
on the shores,

Firing off cannons of destruction, freedom,
and flame.

I went by plane, and not by ambulance,
as was planned.

I spent the night before
in that rickety old place,
they call, "Congress",
To escape the planned coldness of an educated man.
To escape his return of rejection.

I met the writer of haikus, which was planned.

I tripped on roller skates, as was planned.

I fit, which was a complete surprise.
I wore an old slip.
I had one of "my headaches". 
Of which I am so embarrassed.

I loved a man.  Which was un~planned.

As murderously ugly as things turn out
in this world,
Like fans who sneak on you without bouncers...

I wouldn't trade my last July.
My Independance Day.
In escaping Tucson's heat,
I also escaped it's coldness.

My love to the girl,
Cake.

you will die by my hand or this is a really fly band what?

He had a stripper for a girlfriend.
He had what she thought to be an online affair.
In her anger and wish for retribution, 
she turned him in for growing a warehouse full of pot.
Or, perhaps, just disappeared the day the cops found out.
He saw her in a club one night,
and said these words to her.
"You will die by my hand."
Her new boyfriend tried to box him.
She got confused when she told the police that he had said,
"This hand will kill you."
Which made her seem silly.
When he went in front of the judge,
He said the club was loud, 
and that he had said,
"This is a really fly band."
That doesn't rhyme with
or sound anything like  
"This hand will kill you."
The judge dismissed the case. 
He loved to tell new girls this story.
Which made him seem silly.
Or worse.
