"Sheeerriiiiieee"”
have not heard from mah German uncle, and prob. won't now. prob. something
I said in my letters either frightened or disgusted him and so it goes and so we'll never know the hour of my birth, but guess we'll all go on a while: Uncle, me, you.
back from hospital last Sunday. surgery for 15 years' or more hemorrhoids and
distended intestine. sitting with very great delicacy upon these pillows as my radio finally gives me some decent symphony music (Mozart). you are lucky for me. it is a painful time, of course. I wish you could hear my monologue during bowel movements. you would have to laugh but I am in dead earnest about my cusses and pronouncements during all this...shitting. I will be unable to work for from 4 to 8 weeks, which doesn't bother me at all. there is something wrong with me: I am never bored when I am alone; I am only bored and distressed and hammered while I am around people. take away the physical pain and this is a pretty perfect time, although I cannot sit at a typer too long. they tell me that my liver is in bad shape too. my drinking days are over"”if I am able to stop, and don't think I'll have any trouble."
(Excerpt of letter to Sheri Martinelli.)
