Went to Kinko's last night <br />to copy my manuscripts. Ha! <br />Everybody else thought their work <br />was as important as mine— <br />even that guy with his <br />family reunion album. <br />He'll find out soon enough! <br /> <br />Ruined another $80,000 <br />xerox machine trying to scratch <br />the white-out from my pages off the glass. <br />Patience, Max. let it dry first: <br />that makes 3 machines this year, <br /> <br />but these will be trivial expenses <br />when I sell the movie rights. <br /> <br />Got nabbed taking extra packets <br />of Equal at Barnes & Noble, <br />stuffing them in my pockets <br />after sweetening my coffee. <br /> <br />Now I'm banned from all 819 <br />Barnes & Noble stores. <br />They'll be sorry. I'm going <br />to ask for a written apology <br />before I let them carry my book. <br /> <br />Meanwhile, have to appear <br />for Petty Theft, the 18th. <br />I can still go to Borders, <br />so no big deal.<br /><br />Max Reif<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-writer-s-journal/
