Pictures from a Party on Saturday Night OR Christmas Card from a Hooker in Mineapolis on Valentines Day

hey Charley I'm pregnant and living on 9-th street right above a dirty bookstore off euclid avenue and I stopped taking dope and I quit drinking whiskey and my old man plays the trombone and works out at the track.

(his 48th b-day party)

and he says that he loves me

even though its not his baby

and he says that he'll raise him up

like he would his own son

and he gave me a ring

that was worn by his mother

and he takes me out dancin

every saturday nite.

(2 gay sailors playing badminton)

and hey Charley

I think about you

everytime I pass a fillin' station

on account of all the grease you used to wear in your hair

and I still have that record

of little anthony & the imperials

but someone stole my record player

how do you like that?

(an all white party)

hey Charley I almost went crazy

after mario got busted

so I went back to omaha to

live with my folks

but everyone I used to know

was either dead or in prisons

so I came back in minneapolis

this time I think I'm gonna stay.

hey Charley I think I'm happy

for the first time since my accident

and I wish I had all the money

that we used to spend on dope

I'd buy me a used car lot

and I wouldn't sell any of em

I'd just drive a different car

every day

dependin on how I feel.

(Beckles is back, clearing up my mis-understanding that 'all whites' was clothing, not race -which was great, since the latter made me quite uncomfortable)
