Amicable
by Thea Hillman author info
Anne Heche has been hospitalized!
I was walking along to meet Krista for dessert
in the Castro and her dad had died and the baby, maybe Tallulah
was due in November and you had broken up with me
and it was warm the way San Francisco nights surprise
when the wind dies down and the air is soft with salt and
night blooming jasmine and suddenly I see a headline
HECHE HOSPITALIZED AFTER BIZARRE INCIDENT
She ran out of gas on Highway 33 wandered in the
heat about a mile along a dirt road to a house on Nebraska Avenue
Aracelli Campiz told reporters, "I was so surprised to see my favorite actress
she even put on a pair of my slippers"
I had just gotten off the phone with you, telling you
finally, not to contact me and
the deputy wrote in his report: "She proceeded to tell me that she
was God and that she was going to take everyone back to heaven
with her in some sort of spaceship"
there is no snow in Hollywood
there is no breeze in Fresno
They met and got together so fast without knowing
each other
I have been to lots of bars
and acted perfectly disgraceful
but I have never actually been hospitalized
Oh Kate I love you come back
