Me Reading Stuff

We all need a litany of praise every now and then, right? I dare you to write your own. Include the murky stuff. Buy "COLLECTED POEMS" by Mark Strand at your local bookstore or here: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/collected-poems-mark-strand/1118031927If you're wanting to praise further, I also recommend these two books from Shambhala: http://www.shambhala.com/shambhala-5647.htmlhttp://www.shambhala.com/books/buddhism/chogyam-trungpa/the-pocket-chogyam-trungpa.html

Pinterest and I are in a fight. I can't deal with people dying, so don't do that. I love you guys. And thank you.

Today, from a mystery location, I read three Moore poems: To Be Liked by You Would Be a Calamity, Poetry, and Nothing Will Cure the Sick Lion but to Eat an Ape. And I dichotomously want to do nothing but talk and be very very very quiet. I’m gentle though. I’m dying; I’m writing it down. Calm.

I recorded this one in a cold garage in an unnamed location. The garage is large. It has two children in it. It it not my garage, but it does contain my old coffee table. I'm going to miss this coffee table, but it's too big for my apartment. I like living in very small places. I always have; I always will. My grandparents' apartment was so small. One of the children just rang a bell.
