The other day, at about two in the afternoon, E.S. and I walked by a liquor store in our neighborhood and saw a woman helping a man out the door who was obviously three sheets to the wind. Then we had the following conversation:
E.S.: Would you stay with me if I became a falling-down drunk?
FAUSTUS: No.
E.S.: What if I had a lot of money?
FAUSTUS: I would stay with you long enough to make sure you left everything to me in your will, and then I would push you in front of a subway. Everybody would think you had just fallen because you were drunk.
E.S.: I can't argue with that logic.

A few years ago I was crossing Greenwich at 8th Avenue where it forms that little triangle at the bottom of Chelsea, and there was a seriously drunk homeless man who toppled off the curb and fell into the street. He looked kind of scary, so I kept going. That image haunts me to this day. Everytime the parable of the Good Samaritan comes up, I shudder in recognition.

You wouldn't happen to have anything against wire hangers, would you?

And then you and E.S. had sex.
Right there in front of the liquor store.

Someone read "Zen and the Philosophy of Anna Nicole," didn't he?

That's brilliant. It's something I would say.
Hey, I guess that makes me brilliant too! Wheee!

Hmmmmmm. I can't help noticing that this whole "Throw E.S. in front of the train" thing is turning into a recurring leitmotiv in this blog. If I were he, I would mind the gap in a really, really serious way. Especially if you start commenting to his friends about "this bizarre Anna Karenina obsession he has been exhibiting lately... ."
