December 12, 1978 – East Village – Journal

February 26, 2024 – 1:38 pm

Poor Alice bears the financial brunt of our relationship. Beyond that she is my love and a good woman to my heart. We still haven’t had sex and she hasn’t had her period. Three weeks and she sleeps in the other room. I hear her crying and try to comfort her, but I haven’t the […]

This afternoon I ran into Alice and her shrewish girlfiend on St. Mark’s. I coldly greeted my love. I tried to kiss me and she turned the cheek. I’m pissed she stayed in Chinatown with Tom and the Bitch, but I know Tom wouldn’t try anything. We are real friends. I could see she was […]
