dear ellen


richard yates visited me last night in a UFO. when i left my room at 4 a.m. to run to the convenience store to pick up some hotplate accessories a UFO landed and richard yates came out.

i walked to him to pet him but he was too tall. i took a hotplate out of my backpack and stood on it to pet richard yates but he was still too tall. i took another hotplate out of my backpack and stood on it to pet richard yates but he was still too tall.

then john updike and salman rushdie came out of the UFO and put richard yates in a straightjacket. richard yates screamed and struggled and john updike and salman rushdie dragged him back into the UFO.
