Failure is the offshoot of argument—but then failure occurs too from a
               lack of it

Being a media consultant
is hard work. I wake up
ready to engage. The
media are already on
my lap. I cradle and
they coo and then
I’m off to consulting.

For lunch, I eat a
can of beans and a
fresh salad (usually
Caesar’s). And then
it’s back to consulting.

Dinner comes too late,
and all too oft without
a date. I go to bed
sad and sleepless.
