well, most people don’t read my stuff <br />cause not published <br />except in little magazines <br />with an average circulation <br />of under a hundred <br />but one day got a letter <br />from a guy in prison <br />saying: <br />Greeting <br />from the mortuary <br />found your writing in Monozine #3 <br />somber <br />yet cleverly amusing <br />your bio indicates publication in 50 zines <br />if you have any please send <br />zines pass the time <br />gonna be here <br />for another eleven years. <br />I laminated his letter <br />hung it on my wall <br />then Xeroxed my 3,487 page novel <br />WARRIORS OF THE UNSURPASSABLE <br />COMPASSION <br />and sent it off by UPS. <br />Six months later received a note: <br />You’re the greatest <br />Send more <br />The longer the better.<br /><br />Charles Wax<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/don-t-get-many-fan-letters-2/
