  Q.  David, first let me say I really enjoyed your work on that TV show.
A. That wasn’t me.

Q. Ya, sure it was.  I remember names alright: David Cross – you’re a funny guy!
A. That’s a different fellow

Q. Oh, I see…you create a different persona for yourself when you’re writing, like Chinaski.
A. No, it’s just me.  Another guy has the same name but without the “S” in the middle.

Q.  And what’s his name?
A. Who?

Q. The other David Cross
A. Yes

are we there yet?

I always felt
I was never quite there
Where I wanted to be
Where I should be, could be
But always existing
Just on the fringe
Of that place
Lurking in the shadows
On the periphery
Living a life
Not quite there
A life not at all
Like the life
I thought of
Long ago
When I actually
Thought about living
Thought what a life
Might be
Someday

Then it all broke
Fell to pieces
And I felt nothing
I did not think
About life; not quite there
Nor about life where I was
Or wanted to be

When I finally picked up the pieces
Reassembled life’s bits
I felt as I always felt
Still not quite there
