***BIO*** Avi Golden hates talking about himself, let alone in third person. He is a deadbeat who relies on minor chemicals (some legal, some not so legal) to escape his lack of a "meaningful" life. While on these illicit trips of escape, he dabbles in poetry and hatches up schemes to keep his sugar-lady from dumping him.

You’re all
fakes. You’d kill
for recognition.
You’d die
for recognition.
Go ahead, revel
in your shit. The
dusk of whatever
you are
is just around the corner.
If you truly
wrote for yourself
you wouldn’t
submit. I have
more courage than you.
My dream is to get
recognition for
what I’ve written, be it
here or there.
The pragmatist
in me tells
me I’ll never be
anything. Bukowski
won the fucking
lottery. How many
great poets
have positions
at the post office?
Fucking crazy poets
writing with
stamps
and
lead?
