My dead heroes have all abandoned me

Tim Case Writes:
“My dead heroes have all abandoned me now.

I ran into the ghost of Bukowski at a bar a few weeks ago, and when I told him I no longer got drunk or dropped my pants in public he punched me in the mouth.

Jim Morrison won’t return my calls.

Dali says I’m acting strangely.

Hunter S. Thompson is outside the door right now, drunk, waving a pistol around and calling me a rabid dog.

Even Miles Davis, when I tell him I’m happier delivering pizzas than I ever was managing a titty bar, just looks at me sadly, shakes his head and walks away, trumpet in hand.”
