H: When I was a teenager, I was into, and oh nvm, Bukowski had this title …
K: In the 60’s, when you were even then trying to be young.
H: Fuck you. Anyway. “Love Is a Dog From Hell”, it was called. Somehow, it stuck.
K: Sure.
Dream of …
Nowt more.

Californication.
I’m done ripping myself off.

Never.
Will.
Get older.
A broken toy soldier.
Can’t sleep.
Chatted to my “a 19 year-old Californian”. Felt bad about that. Re-reading my previous post.
19 and Californian has fuck all to do about/with it.
Soz. You have a name. She has a name.
Chatting to K.
Typical.
For an Englishman to point it out to me.
Belgian band.
Belgian video.
Best music video.
Ever.
Verify:
MaMaMahhh/PaPaPa Pokahhh Face/KaKaKahhh.
And we just outperformed ourselves again in the weekly pub quiz.
And I am quite sozzled. Courtesy of me pub quiz team mates.
And I am sitting on my host’s spare bed. Knees up, Mac balancing. So me Mac can’t get overheated.
And I don’t understand why. Coz my host’s more than, is more than Unbelievable.
But.
And.
And a.
And a 19 year old Californian is sending me her haikus.
No, Haiku.
No plural in Japanese.
And. Written when she was 11.
Coz she is getting rid of them. Throwing them out. In the garbage can.
Coz her mum. Told her to do “chores”.
Coz.
My lovely is being.
GoOd.
Nvm.
But. Nvm.
And.
Don’t you want/Don’t you need/Wouldn’t you love/You better find
And I don’t understand why.
And she trusts me.
And I don’t understand why.
And they are personal.
And I don’t understand why.
And they are GoOd.
And I am saying to not get rid of them.
Coz I did that once and hugely regret it now.
But.
No.
Now.
I realise. I am patronising.
Or.
Am I?
And she is having some of it.
Coz she is not your average 19 year old.
In my eyes.
Your eyes. Your eyes.
Our eyes.
Her eyes.
Fuck your/her/our eyes.
…
Her nose.
Lovely, lovely nose.
And thank God.
And GoOd.
Coz i nearly caught myself writing shit poetry. Writing shit.

Don’t you want/Don’t you need/Wouldn’t you love/You better find
Somebody to love.
Can’t read my, can’t read my ...
Impossible.
To sustain.
Close relationships.
Friendship or otherwise.
Just using a chat device.
Just chatting.
It breaks my heart.
This amazing, wonderful, ego-boosting close relationship. A 19 year-old Californian and V M Husten has. K. and I have.
Had.
Breaking. Seeing it dissolve.
In a barrel of opaqueness. A barrel of uncertainty. A barrel of simply-being-the-case-of-not being-able-to-see-each-other.
Like a maffia victim in a barrel of acid.
I can’t read your poker face anymore, lovely.
Just talk to me.
Please.
H: I don’t think so.
K: You so are.
H: Has it ever occurred to you that …
K: You are a whore.
H: You Americans.
K: What?
H: You are a slut.
K: You Europeans.
…
H: This is fun, no?
K: Haha.
…
K: Oh, so painful, Husten. Why do you live so far away?
H: Why do you live so far away?
K:
H: Dunno.
K: Wasn’t expecting an answer.
H:
…
H: I’m trying. Really hard. They don’t want foreigners in your knack of the woods. Do your degree in the UK.
K: I looked into that recently.
H: Really?
K: Don’t keep your hopes up.
…
H: Stellify?
K: It’s ok.
H: You are being British.
K: Am I? Across The Sea is better.
H: There are no doubt, hundreds of songs that are better.
K: I didn’t mean that, you whore.
H: It would be kinda of tedious if I called you slut, right now, right?
K: You are so insecure.
H: You are so American.
…
It’s our song, she said.
Ours.
Sure.
Weezer?
Sure.
She’s the boss.
Across the seas, hey?
But.
Why does me heart feel so bad?

So far for my fucking fenglish.
Love me.
Unconditionally.
Just.
Love me.
Wherever you are.
Whoever you are.
I need it right now.
“VDB … Rest in peace.
…
Finally.
Like Paul Gascoigne.
Over here.
Unlike Paul Gascoigne.
I should say.
He is still alive.
Tho.
Living in a wheelie bin.
According to some tabloids.
Before I left for the US.
Thought it was very funny.
Then.
Realised.
People with mental illnesses …
Yup.
The political correctness kicked in.
…
VDB
…
Ge waart een grote Meneer.
Even if.
I may be the only one to genuinely think so.
In that country of ours we call home.
…
You were you.
I loved you for that.
Unlike Museeuw.
…
nvm
…
I’ll miss you.
From a bona fide fan.
VMH”
“Hey kids, shake a leg
Maybe you’re crazy in the head, baby”
“Hey kids, where are you?
Nobody tells you what to do, baby”
…
So far for my fucking fenglish.
The tedious trick with young’ns is not how far they are willing you can take ‘m.
The iffy trick is realising how far they can take you.
Without you willing it.
So far for my fucking fenglish.
K: If you have no money, how do you manage to get drunk?
H:
K: Really?
H: Well, you told me … showed me in fact. Back in the day.
K: Back in the day, huh?
H: Yup.

K: So I got you to write my essays, lie for me and and now shoplift alcohol.
H: Not for you tho. The shoplifting. Tho if I even had a sniff of your … in your knack of the woods … i’d rob a …
K: Hahaha.

K: Hmmmm.

H: Depends.
K: On what? I already have to let you go down on me which is soooo not gonna happen.
H: I think it will.

K:
H: Don’t start talking about other things.

H:
K: I miss you too. But not in that way.
H: I know. Fuck me, do I know.
“Dip, dip.”
No.
“Trip, trip.”
No.
“Dip, dip.”
The tap in me room says. (Put a worn sock underneath the tap coz it was driving me crazy. Mutes the Chinese water torture.)
Like being at your grandma’s and all those fucking clocks. Remember? Going “tick tock”. Especially the one. That was really loud. What was all that about? Not to mention the heat. It was always so hot.
K.
Have been making a mess of the intimate friendship between us, lately.
With K.
Not because of alcohol.
Not because of distance.
Not because of …
Just because.
Of.
Me.
She says she has accepted my apologies.
Seems like it. Forgiven me.
I am a moron.
But.
People assume things.
Quite rightly so.
“Dip, dip.”
