SMASH MY SMILE

31st March 2009

This piece of good fiction (prose, poetry, prose-poetry, meaningless boxes) is like good friction, like rivulets of tears, like knowing smiles, deceptively comforting.

I drank it, smoked it, then I felt like recording it (because I read it countless, and he said something about readings and because I had been recording readings because I am learning how to speak human.)

Has anyone noticed that I like repetition?

This is from the book I AM GOING TO CLONE MYSELF THEN KILL THE CLONE AND EAT IT. It - the reading - starts off well, but, like life, it is long and I stumble and wander and start to lose it towards the end.

More, more, I am never satisfied, give me more

Buy the book
Visit the scary man
Hear me drunk
Hear me spanish
Throw up lightning

    if “Creativity and logic belong together”, your art is not preciselly original.

    i marked this ‘unread’ until i was able to get some quiet time and this is the quiet time and while i liked your sam’s piece, the drunk bukowski solidified my reverse girl crush. whatever that means i am not drunk surprise!

    Mariana: Hello and welcome. I’m not sure where logic fits in all of this. :)

    Xtx: Yeah, I’m definitely not drunk enough to handle Sam Pink.

    Plus reverse girl crush made me think of reverse cowgirl. Add you, Sam, and now I am a bit flustered.
