Cold Reading

If its down & dirty in the life of small rooms you want,search no further.

Cold Reading reports from the trenches. In a book as thin as a worn sheet, the poet cops a pleafor all residents on the rim.

This is the book to take to bed when its the best you can doalong with a messof army blankets & a cheap radio.

Some winters areso cold that a man must decide whether to read or burnthe furniture.

Made up of late-night binges of sourgrapes & jeremiads, these 54 entries hit the spot likea preacher on ludes.

If nothing else, theyll putthe chill of god into a moments notice.

Cold Readingis bad, badand wonderful for you.
