Dr. Zirk

More snow to-night, Doktor. It has me a bit frantic -- but I intend to try and go out to ye poft office to-morrow. I live on top of Orcas, on Mead St., near unto Seward Park; & thus climbing Orcas from Rainer is a hellish experience in ye snow. I was so weary & peaked when I try'd it last week that some kind woman came out of her house to ask if I was all right when I stopped for breath half-way up the hill. I have many parcels to poft. If you are interested in doing lunch some-time, let me know. My sartorial eloquence is subdu'd these days, as the punk drag offends my Mother -- & Mother must be placated, it's the least one can do when she is allowing me to live here rent-free so as to be able to write full-time -- so I won't look too bizarre.
