#2,357 Hoffman’s Concern
Valium failed to engender
a happiness for suburban
rats – freedom imposes an
isolation on flitting minds
[& other such wild effects]
& their vacant mirrors say
nothing new – blemishing
thoughts turned tightly as

hear – he was shortened in
expectations [evaporating
marriages & relationships
too] – in such dull mid-life
things he sat fucked anew
