I was shacked with a 
 24 year old girl from 
 New York City for 
 two weeks   about 
 the time of the garbage 
 strike out there, and 
 one night my 34 year 
 old woman arrived and 
 she said, “I want to see 
 my rival.” she did 
 and then she said, “o, 
 you’re a cute little thing!” 
 next I knew there was a 
 screech of wildcats— 
 such screaming and scratch- 
 ing, wounded animal moans, 
 blood and piss . . . 
I was drunk and in my 
 shorts. I tried to 
 separate them and fell, 
 wrenched my knee. then 
 they were through the screen 
 door and down the walk 
 and out in the street. 
squadcars full of cops 
 arrived. a police heli- 
 copter circled overhead. 
I stood in the bathroom 
 and grinned in the mirror. 
 it’s not often at the age 
 of 55 that such splendid 
 things occur. 
 better than the Watts 
 riots. 
the 34 year old 
 came back in. she had 
 pissed all over her- 
 self and her clothing 
 was torn and she was 
 followed by 2 cops who 
 wanted to know why. 
pulling up my shorts 
 I tried to explain.
