money and vodka. Mr. SaXX at the Way Back. he's on the radio san jose. he might be hiding the dream somewhere. the man who blows up the night. his eyes were looking east. it was time to pay the bar tab. Spider was ready but sex was not for money. she said “sex is my obsession not my profession.” she kissed Betsy's fingers. back of her hand was rough. no going home. heroin was a burden for Benny in the Hotel Golden Gulag fifth street. his head a thick river of mud. the Open 24/7 Club Vito's hangout. Mexican Rose lived in a dark corner. she jumped on the cable car with Billy Two Weeks on his way to the coast. he said “karma only for the dead were plugged in”. we never saw him again. he paid for disappearing. smoke ash and beer in a cheap buffet.
