from Governors on Sominex by David Berman

"And out in the city, out in the wide readership,
his younger brother was kicking an ice bucket
in the woods behind the Marriott,

his younger brother who was missing the part of the brain
that allows you to make out with your pillow.

Poor kid."

viva poetry!

Not bad, he has an interesting voice, and he tells a good story. Some of his structure is a little hackneyed. Basically, a good sophomore novel from someone with promise. I'm probably wouldn't buy it in hardcover, and in the genre I'd recommend Motherless Brooklyn over it, but its worth reading.

yeah man, i'm way proud of you. i hope it worked well with many relaxing and psychedelic effects and minimal anxiety (my main problem with the stuff).

first i typed 'anxietry' and then i fixed it. maybe i'll become an anxietrist.

me = work work work.
