DEAR SENSITIVE BEARD,
We could drive all night and never make it past this goddam witch town. This isn’t melodrama—this is Hotel California. We’d have a pretty nice set-up. I’d read palms out back of Taco Loco and you’d lead the spiritualists in séances. We could get a little sugar shack rent free. But boys from neighboring towns would drive by to howl at the moon. Pretty boys all want their hands touched. To search for glowing orbs.
