TEASER ? 
This award-winning story
began life
during my brief residency
in Hollywood
on Gower Street,
3 blocks south
of
Hollywood Boulevard
 
 BUT
when I received
$20 
from Joan Rivers,
my career
stupidly followed
a different direction

However,
it is a complete story
[copyrighted, of course]
and
anyone offering
a reasonable quantity
of $
will receive
a hand-delivered
copy

    1. The award was a six-month free supply of beverage
      at some jack-shit coffeehouse on Sunset Boulevard.

      Besides anyone smart enough at that coffeehouse,
      the only person to be given a copy
      direct from the author
      was RANDALL, a cashier at the now-defunct
      World Savings Bank in Burbank.

      He left that bank shortly after realizing
      I wasn't about to become his lover
