Hi James!

Sorry about the delayed response but I spent the night at the county jail.

You see, the neighborhood I live is, how to put it, a little conservative (Trump flags and all). And I don’t know if it was the problem that I was playing the Sex Pistols at 2:00 AM (you know, the time difference) or that they got scared about my anarchy chanting!

In any case, the folks at the county jail were very pleasant, but I think they got a little scared about my converting the other inmates to the cult of poetry and anarchism. So they let me go.

That or someone posted bail.

Of course I’m just kidding, and I’m listening to the playlist you recommend on my way to work and as I wait for my daughter in the car to come out of her ballet class. Since Covid we all need to wait outside. I think the other moms find my choice of music interesting. My daughter asks me to speed out the parking lot while she hides in the back seat. This much is true.

But there is a power. In the music. In the words.

I’ll keep you posted. Write out, my friend. Write story away!

Pablo
