What happens to old whores
and porn stars
when their bodies can't pay the bills
anymore?

They get married.
They live a normal life with a normal man
and forget about the days
when money came and went
as easy as youth.

What happens to old wizards
and cowboys
when their bodies can't pay the bills
anymore?

They get married.
They find a woman who wants to take care of them
or they let the state lend a hand.
they live off chocolate bars
lose their teeth
spend their days reading magazines
and comic books
watching TV
dreaming about the days when they were young,
when the old whores
and porn stars
they love
were young too.

John Ogden was conceived of a government form and a passing mailbox. He lives somewhere out in the woods of a rural land more akin to the fantasy realms of literature than real life, and his favorite dirt bikes will always be the broken ones.
