  1. @amandaschneider That's a #gentleTweet if ever there was one... (Look it up.)
  2. MEMO: Due to budget setbacks, the sound of small-caliber rifle fire will be substituted for high-heeled shoes on 2 a.m. sidewalk pavement.
  3. @Ermodi Read that too fast. Saw it as "Elmo haiku". So there's that... (@gofrankgo)
  4. @Ermodi @gofrankgo Not bad! Feel free to bend the rules a tad...
  5. @moosharella Check yr Gmail, sent you the link.
  6. @GoFrankGo @ermodi There's a beautiful one by Ginsberg about a bottle fly and some of the old Japanese ones are mind-blowing! ("Had" to?)
  7. Watching a KICK ASS doc about Phillip K. Dick. I associate more with the writings of William S. Burroughs and PKD than any other.
  8. @Ermodi It's addictive!
  9. "The witch-king may have been too busy being awesome to notice details." <-- That shit happens to me ALL THE TIME.
  10. Black Betty by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds: bit.ly/K4Mbvd (Ideal for hot summer evenings when the shadows are long and hope is thin...)
  11. Harness the emotional energy of the Internet. Use it to build a Weapon of Mass Discomfort. Ground Zero will be sorrow-drenched for decades.
  12. X,Y: Drinking iced coffee; the barista likes Winehouse. Paint flecked floor. The air is yellow with charged ions. Fire truck Dopplers past.
  13. The man sitting behind me in that terrible diner was speaking in cut-ups. His companions laughed as though nothing was wrong. #Nonsensical
  14. When you have perspective, you forget about the last time you lost it. And when you lose it, you forget that you ever had it to begin with.
  15. Am I crazy? Is that what this is?
