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
