"Alive"


So I was lying there in hospital with these nurses. These to me 10 year old youngsters on either side. One drawing blood the other stabbing an I.V. into me. I mentioned that "I used to be afraid of needles".

"Not anymore?" one asked.


"No" I mumbled in a semi-conscious haze.

"They've become old friends."

I mean as Richard Pryor said after setting himself on fire while free basing.

"...fuck it I'm alive."

So far so good.
