   I'll have a compliment and a side of gin. On   
   second thought, hold the compliment.   
      
   Bob and I used to post to a poetry group on   
   Fidonet '94-ish. I used to think if he could   
   contain his compulsion to spew, he could be a   
   Kafka or Van Gogh -- but alas, his spewmania   
   clouds his judgment to the point of   
      
      Now they have made strangers of us,   
      I am feeling too strange   
      to be anything except a stranger,   
      since they made strangers of us.   
      
   I've found some good poems of his over the years,   
   but when he starts a series with the above, I   
   really can't go on reading. Kafka might write:   
      
      "She delicately bit off the hindquarters of a   
   herring, and told me to turn right until I found   
   the fourth hallway which ended in a 'T'. There,   
   I'd find a stairway leading to left -- don't take   
   the one to right, for it goes nowhere -- and at   
   the top I'd find an identical set of hallways. Tap   
   at the window directly over hers, and request the   
   form asking permission for an interview with the   
   person I seek. If no one answers, report the fact   
   to security, and come back a week from next Tuesday."   
      
   Bitterly boring, but somehow sharing a human   
   condition. Well, maybe a little.
