***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.

Lazy Afternoons
by Avi Golden
When I go to Border’s,
I am very self conscious.
I ‘m always looking around
to see what others are reading,
or interested in, and very aware
of what message I’m sending
as I pick a book up. That’s why
I love the beach. The wind blows
the pretension away. I can bring
any shitty book of poetry I want,
a six pack of Mickey’s,
and no one cares.
I can vomit beer onto the beach
and no one cares.
I just kick a little
sand over it,
take a quick nap
in the sun,
and I’m good to go.
