Sliding Down a Slippery Pole, by Mark Tulin
4/2/2019

Saturday night, Roy was in a grungy strip club in Jersey. It was the same joint that his father took him to as a boy. He remembered how uncomfortable he felt watching naked women slide down a pole, and seeing his dad’s creepy grin as he slipped a five-dollar bill down a dancer’s g-string

It took Roy a while to realize why he was sitting in a place that smelled like cheap perfume and Joe Cocker singing "You Can Leave Your Hat On." He realized that he was there on the day that his father died.

I am an author, poet, humorist, and short story writer living in Long Beach, California. I write about various topics, from my early childhood in Philadelphia to my years as a family therapist and finally to my soul-searching in California. These are poetic narratives that may have humorous or serious content or both. Either way, I hope my poetry and stories resonate with you. My books include Magical Yogis, Uncommon Love Stories, Awkward Grace, Junkyard Souls, and Rain on Cabrillo.
