'Gentle reader, gentle reader.'
Obviously, authors have never watched readers.
I've seen pages folded, spines cracked.
Entire chapters clumsily stripped from their bodies; books-as-amputees.
Pictures gutted and splayed on walls.
Gentle readers, my ass.
Always dissecting words and splitting sentences/hairs/lines.
Stay the fuck away, with your crusty, word-spattered fingernails.
I saw what you did to Hemingway, damn it, and I want no part of it.
