☆ Blah blah blah it's cold. This is really cramping my style. Throwing off my groove, if you know what I mean. Fit for neither human nor beast.

This volume contains a good deal of prose-poetry, which is not everyone's cup of tea, and it also contains some very minimalistic stuff, which ( Read more... )
