    506

    Wireman swam into existence around the window
    where his brain swam on the GulfIt was a younger
    Wireman than the one in the photos clipped to the
    sides of my easel, but that was okay; I consulted
    them less and less, and on the third day I took
    them down altogetherI didn't need them anymore
    Still, I painted the way I supposed most other
    artists painted: as if it were a job instead of
    some speed-trip insanity that came and went in
    spasmsI did it with the radio on, now always

    him to click his pix and be gone so I could go

    know anything about art!"

    think it was for Pam - but it never was for me

    "Are you taking care of yourself?" I asked her I could almost see her rolling her
    eyes"How many bunches?"
    "A million and one for under your pillow," she
    said, as if humoring a child
    I sat there for a little while, looking out at the
    water, rubbing absently at my eyes, then made what
    I hoped would be the day's last call

    get her; I thought chanel watch j12 she'd be out eating lunch with
    friendsOnly like Pam, she answered on the first
