Six days after jubilating my silver of living
in a self-owned garçonnière, a tosspot few
doors away self-slaughtered, pushing me
to précis and itemize flats on my floor.

1: Greaser, in hock.
2: Suicide chamber.
3: Cuckold's home.
4: Tenant, a lady of the night.
5: Nabbed for nonce.
6: Censured for cruelty on her girl-child.
7: Owner overseas.
8: Mine -- fat to fatter.

If mommy were alive she would worry.
