I wrote a poem about Nietzsche and Dostoyevsky for a friend who
   was having writer's block on a book. *He got as far as "The
   Beaten Horse". *So I helped: The Beaten Horse? Of course, of
   course. This is the story of a German and a Norse. Beaten down,
   Scratched Brain, Both men never the same. I only seem to be
   really familiar with this stuff. I'm not. But I can write a bad
   poem about anything.
