JIM CARROLL: I was up at Sandy Daley's room at the Chelsea about a year after Patti and I had split up, and I put my hand around her waist and said, "We should get together again, Patti." I guess she must of been really hot for Sam Shepard, because she looked at Sandy and they started laughing—obviously all this girl talk had gone on—it was like, "Man, are you kidding? A year ago if you had said that to me I woulda jumped out the window, baby. But not now. Sorry, Jim." You know, she was like, "I told you you were gonna blow it if you didn't stay with me." So I did feel that, man, maybe it was a big mistake, but through all those vacillations that Patti went through I don't know if I could of handled that. In the Mapplethrope book it says she left me, after she picked my mind about poetry and got some recognition of her own, but it didn't happen that way. We just kinda drifted apart . . . you know, she was like, "I was faithful to you and you kept fucking the fashion model!" But we did talk a lot about poetry. Patti's poems were very different than mine—she had this whole Dionysian thing, whereas I was pretty Apollonian. That's why she was so successful with rock—she could just go nuts and counterpoint it with this sweet self and let go with this weird-angry-magic self, too. She could just let it all loose, but formwise she wasn't that disciplined, and to me that was really important. Patti was taking in everything I was saying about form, and a longer line, but I mean that was all technical stuff, and neither of us were going to change. I didn't like all her poems, but she had some really good lines in there.

PAC~ Let Me Hype You Up! Why are you so amazing? Why are people drawn to you?
Pile 1~
Hi there pile 1’s! You are the kind of person who does not tolerate B.S of any kind. Straight off the bat, you are someone who can be peaceful and blunt. There are two sides to you that everyone may get, and you know it. You are not afraid to speak your truth! This does not mean you are argumentative or combative, rather you are outspoken, and honest. It may irk others because they aren’t ready for what you have to say, and they project their ego onto you. Know your truth regardless! I also see you may put a lot of effort into yourself physically, and people are drawn to that. You appear high maintenance, or there is a fairy vibe to you. Even so, people know you’re not one to mess with! You are still a kind person with boundaries, its up to people to decide which side they get from you. You have a very interesting and unique way of appearing to others, you may find that people describe you differently every time. It’s because you blend with energy so well that its difficult to describe you, adding more mystery! You may be into a cyberpunk, cottage core aesthetic, or have a lot of aesthetics that you enjoy! Zodiac Signs: Pisces, Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius.
Pile 2~
Why are people so drawn to you my pile 2’s? Let’s find out. First of all, people pick up an intense aura to you. It’s very much ride or die, and all or nothing. It’s deep, intense, and encourages others curiosity about you. It’s easy for people to get lost in your eyes, especially your voice. You may have a reserved energy at first, which intrigues others, but when they really know you, you are funny, down to earth, and full of wisdom. You may overthink a lot, but I’m seeing that people admire that. What’s admirable about that ability is your intellect and ability to see all sides, all perceptions. Although its difficult to manage, people find that amazing, almost like ‘’I never would’ve thought that if they didn’t say it.’’ There is such a ‘’I want to get to know you but I know there’s this intensity, I’m intimidated.’’ So a lot of people may want to talk, but find themselves hesitating easily. What’s amazing is your intellect as said earlier, and your emotional depth. There is so much to learn from you, and your emotions have the ability to connect you deeply to the world and yourself. You are your own ride or die, and many people want you as their ride or die. They may try to please you. Zodiac signs: Scorpio, Leo, Taurus, Aquarius, Libra. P.S. I think you know how intimidating you can be, and you love it.
Pile 3~
Hi there pile 3’s! How many of you all have dreams of being wealthy and being financially savvy? I see you. What’s admirable is your ambition, drive, and earthy presence. You are like a rock on the outside, committed, loyal, and steady. But what people don’t see right away is your drive, ambition. That’s your secret, that’s how you move. You may like keeping it a secret: your hustles, your drive, dreams. Only those closest to you know. I’m getting a ‘’secret circle’’ kind of vibe. Many people want in on your plans, but you don’t give easily because you know they’re important to you. You have a select group you hang around with, and people want in on this. People want to know what you’re working on, and they are attracted to your mindset about money. I see your dreams are attractive too. You think big and allow yourself to reach those goals. People may come to you wanting help a lot, because you radiate this ‘’I know it all,’’ energy, even if you don’t. A lot of people place you on a pedestal because you carry yourself to high standards. Keep it up. You are not afraid to rock the boat in relationships when it comes to your needs! This doesn’t mean you being argumentative, you are honest and open. You know what you deserve and that’s attractive.
