THE KISS OF DEATH
******************************
From a very early age
i was taught to respect my elders.
It took me a while to realize
that respect meant subservience,
and subservience meant not only
subservience to bosses, bishops
and benefactors but also to their
hirelings, flunkeys, hangers on and
assorted parasites.
*
In short, respect meant
subservience to xxxxs.
Which is why I now feel justified
in asserting that
for a writer
to enjoy the support
of a boss, bishops and benefactor
is the kiss of death.
