This is dedicated to Harlan Ellison
——————
Madman of fiction
Typing
Typewriter
Has to write
loves to write
Even in the army,
has a board,
a typewriter, sits in the far stall.
Writes,
creates,
loves words.
Finds people
crazy, absurd, bizarre.
Bullied, Cleveland, small, fights.
Writes, always writes
Short fiction, stories
A penny a word in New York in the 50s.
Crazy, visionary,
counter-culture, radical sex symbol.
Writing screenplays, novels, stories.
Pay the writer.
Always on a typewriter,
seeing the words form,
seeing the stories come.
Madman of fiction,
you will be remembered.
