It is a common liberal identification idiom isn't it, this sighing casual-cynical reference to a generally monstrous state of things. 'How can you go around enjoying life when the world is burning around you?' The interesting thing about this perhaps being that what is being performed is...

i drink a lot of it

every female dj now looks like a model, anyone else noticed this?

thought it was great, in the cinema i could feel the dormant fascia reconnecting, new muscle fibers astir beneath my skin, an atavistic call to elagant body action. went to the public swimming pool next day and swirled around extravagantly.

Yes exactly what I was just trying to type out but in a completely retarded way

yeah it's like playful with the movement. a lot of bathos moves up and down the register.

It has a very jazzy diction which makes me feel slightly uncomfortable coming from Luka. The viewpoint has changed hasn't it? The poet is no longer bogged down in the bowels of modernity but frollicking around it.

What didn't you like about Suttree? I really like it apart from constantly having to look up all these old objects and names of river plants.

This is too easy to hate isn't it? The fireplace storyteller pageantry, the naivety of it. It's like hating Jimi Hendrix or someone
