NON-CRYPTICAL ENVELOPMENT
Good gawd, it’s January sixteenth.
Seven months away from 50.
Jack say in MexCityBlues
want gold
want gold
of eternity
Or the eternal present, one.
Seven degrees Fahrenheit.
Salt and sand and depository of
human wretches from NYC.
Blood money for ale,
40 oz. Ballantine, only 2 bucks and change
Warmth against the cold and spiritual
blood
transfusions

A WWII story by The Twilight Zone's Rod Serling is published for the first time
"I want you to know what shrapnel, and "88's"and mortar shells and mustard gas mean. I want you to feel, no matter how vicariously, a semblance of the feeling of a torn limb, a burnt patch of flesh; the crippling, numbing sensation of fear; the hopeless emptiness of fatigue. All these things are complementary to the province of war and friction, and they should be taught in classrooms along with the more heroic aspects of uniforms and flags, honor and patriotism."
