Nine Reasons Not to Kill Yourself East of St. Marks

Kyle Hemmings

    The Munificent Witch of Tompkins Square Park will still decree a twelve block neon Black-Out in which no one will wear condoms.
    The blind jugglers in the park will never levitate in translucent Fruit-of-the-Looms bought at The Dollar Store on East Houston for a sliver of half-shiny luck.
    They don’t spread in Heaven the kind of gooey cheese at Benny’s pizzeria, the kind that wraps around your tongue like a lover without teeth or aplomb.
    You won’t find the kind of girl who skin pops poisonous frog juice at The Gates of Sudoriferous Mates.
    In the after after-life, they don’t provide the kind of mirrors that reflect back seven stretched versions of you as a bending coke spoon.
    You won’t get to see Lypsinka at the Pyrimid Club, dressed as a southern belle inhaling snuff, tossing layers of petticoats to the audience, performing his/her version of I Want to be Loved by You.
    Diane Arbus will still sleep with hobos having scarred livers and saintly drawbridge eyes. They have spongy hands and answer to the name, “Jesus.”
    Really, what you will see at The Limbo Waiting Rock is a curious room of deadbeats, hookers, hot pretzel scammers, one-arm axmen, sugar-footed mule stalkers, moot tooters who chew on Juicy Fruit, optical sputniks from Hell, four-eyed potato looters, ginny ginny grab-baggers, porcupine right-to-stiff advocates, junk dealers with broken glass for tongues‘the same crew who was there last week on earth before the block got self-nuked.
    The last reason is waiting in your email.
