The CHRIS DRURY

The CHRIS DRURY

The CHRIS DRURY is from Jermyn, Pennsylvania, where she went to SCRANTON
UNIVERSITY and moved to NYC where I taught at FILM VIDEO-ARTS and met her
as one of my students, who was born across the street from my parents'
house in KINGSTON, Pennsylvania. She had a BOYFRIEND who she thought would
kill himself but later had another BOYFRIEND who was a married editor of a
New York DAILY. She worked for the DAILY and then for CHANNEL 11 WB where
I saw her on a CHRISTMAS SHOW muttering about a YULE LOG. Her BROTHER
committed suicide on the JUNGLE GYM at his school. I never had a CRUSH on
The CHRIS DRURY, but had a small one on her friend. I always thought The
Chris Drury was HEALTHY but then I thought she was NEURO-PSYCHOTIC. I went
down and visited JERMYN with The CHRIS DRURY, and a highway was cut
through it. Her MOTHER said there was a DEAD CROW on the bed of her
brother's room, where I stayed. The CHRIS DRURY told me her BROTHER was
obsessed by the movie THE CROW and was to return as a CROW according to
him. Her mother's COMPUTER was a mess and I made it WORSE by trying to fix
it. Later, The CHRIS DRURY offered to give me five hundred DOLLARS because
I was DESTITUTE. Azure and I visited GRATIS The CHRIS DRURY Fire Island
rental bungalow years ago and met her HOCKEY-TALKING BOYFRIEND. I do not
remember if he was the SUICIDAL depressive one or not. It was THAT WEEK
which seemed to CEMENT our FRIENDSHIP to the extent she stayed at our
small LOFT when we went to Miami, finding when we returned many of our
BELONGINGS GONE INTO STORAGE, which was in BOTH OF OUR NAMES, but she had
a key and would not allow us in, and has since DISAPPEARED with OUR
BELONGINGS and the money she OWED US, as well as a HOLE in the WALL she
made for her CABLE TV, not to mention FILTH EVERYWHERE and LATE SUBLET
PAYMENTS which we had to cover the FINES FOR, not to mention still FINDING
years later some things HAVING DISAPPEARED and NO IDEA where they HAVE
GONE, including The CHRIS DRURY,
