ITrying to make ‘peace’ with other ‘twenty-something’ ‘idiots’

I will never like Tao Lin’s writing
but I understand
the appeal
of a lack.

I’ve been searching for a lack
these days, when it seems
there are so many somethings
all the time,
24 hours a day
7 days a week,
OPEN ON HOLIDAYS
Buy one something, get one something!
All somethings 1/2 off, just what
you’ve always wanted.

Yeah,
think I’ll eat some ‘avocado’ now
cause
all this thinking
doesn’t feel good.

Antigone? Really? I mean don’t get me wrong, I love the classics and their influence on literature, but that’s not something I expected from your style. Kind of makes me excited!

Additionally, I rarely use my English degree at all in a real-world context, but it’s really rewarding when it does happen. I once revised a press release in one fell swoop by providing the feedback: “Don’t use the passive voice, don’t end sentences with prepositions, and use the Chicago citation style.” Totally changed the direction for the final draft. My point is, you might not think it’ll matter but when it comes in handy, it’ll make you smile from ear to ear.

Good to hear you’re still alive – and even better to hear you’re living on top of that.

Hopefully I’ll be published in the foreseeable future too! No, nothing new on the horizon really. I’m just always sending that hope out into the universe, waiting for it to come back to me with good.

Glad things seem to be going for you. Going well, even. Rock on, write on, and keep us up to date!
