I spend my days talking to sane people. Do you have any idea how crazy this will make you?

Yeah, thanks for asking. I conducted a group discussion on labor and community ethics from the bed of Sara Larsen on Friday night. Thanks to all for participating. This was following Lauren Shufran's quite stunning reading of her complicated new work which is not not about labor and community ethics. A nice pairing, if I do say so. Two ends of the broad scope of what is currency in poetic form. xoxox to all

Alli Warren reading tonight.

I've developed a Britney Spears obsession (thanks to Stephanie), and a tan. Best line of the night last night? "How can I get this blog drunk and into bed?"

HEADLINES GIVE ME HEADACHES WHEN I READ THEM

and this video is just awful!

but SPRING but SPRING but SPRING

[addendum. because my JOB has TEMPORARILY made off with my MIND, & because I was dazzled by the sudden arrival of a HOT SPRING DAY, I failed yesterday to recognize that the dreadfulness of this video is a send-up of the CHOOSE LIFE version of 80s George Michael pop. I just thought it "sucked". Storm the palace gates, and quick, before I rot.]

Homeopathy is a practice of Like cures Like; you treat the ailment with the substance that in a healthy person would create the ailment. I'm crazy for that kind of remote symmetry. Slash poison.

Something terrible is happening, has happened, which is, sans an unsuitable object it seems I have nothing to write for. How did this happen? I didn't know I was so lyric. I feel depressed. Not at the lack of, but at the apparent fact of. It can't be true. My eros is bored, is sleepy. I'm bored. I'm so busy I can't think, and I'm calling it bored? I like my mind, it must be that which I miss---my not-too-distant, not-too-available mind has vanished in the crush of ridiculous detail. I can't think, therefore I can't love, therefore I can't write, therefore I can't love! not inappropriately, or excessively, or abusively, or goodly, or crushingly, covertly, overtly, wonderfully, fully, adverbially, slowly, embarrassedly, endlessly. I'm fucked. I'm status quo'd. I'm dead.

Kiss me, wake me
