Before Superman became a cliche, before I secured a true living wage, before man’s demise (which is on its way), before I teetotalled and turned the page on my diaried life as a whoring drunk, before now (that is sobriety), I hopped from bar to bed, from shots to flings uncorrupted by anonymity. For sure, I had blackouts (and felt remorse) but a wild life’s not kin to corrosion. I found recreational intercourse could melt my cares (like a magic potion). How else to explain that screwball high care of Clark Kent of the Lower East Side?
