I'm Grateful For The Life

Some Men Get The World, Some Men Get Ex-hookers And A Trip To Arizona. You're In With The Former, But My God I Don't Envy The Blood On Your Conscience.

I Cleaned Up. I Quit Drinking, I Quit Doing Drugs, I Quit Stealing, I Quit Breaking Into Houses, I Tried To Quit Being A Bad Human Being. I Developed A Conscience Later In Life Than Many. I Call It The Lost-time-regained Dynamic.

As Much As I Transferred My Mother To Elizabeth Shore Of The Black Dahlia, As Much As Her Dad Mutated Into An Obsession With Crime In General, Well, I Have Thought About Other Things Throughout The Years.

I Don't Think I Came Out Of Anybody. I Think I Developed Out Of The Influences I Described In My Dark Places. American History, L.a. Of The 1950s. I'm Comfortable With That.

Some People Don’t Respond To Civility.
