Back Next The Irwin Demon

I will not let Irwin
master anything
said the demon
inside me
he must remain
inadequate
a slob to his dying day
Ah so it was this
demon who blocked a
circuit to my genius
and had me stuttering
and crawling alone
crippled.
Oh god
I quickly looked into
the newspapers
to see
who was advertising
for my cure.

Irwin R. Shaw - May 11th 1986
