Speaking of which, my stocks of meat are dwindling. Got something to trade? Don't? Whatever. Give me an address and I will send some meat in your direction.
Need more convincing? Try out some more meat over at Big Game.

I may become the first person in the world to go into debt because of an inability to stop purchasing Dover clip art books.
Here's my piece of NaPoWriMo art:
Not sure about the letters . . . something more Victorian, perhaps? Suggest a font, any font . . .

This is in response to Lorraine's invitation to talk about the new narrative. And not as a reaction to language poetry.
I don't know enough about language poetry to react to it. I only react to myself.
But I am narratively-driven. Not lyric-driven or experiment-driven, although I can incorporate those elements into my poems. In daytime, I am a lawyer, and so I am a word-fascist. I am about using words to persuade, command, to tell.
I don't want to "derange your senses." I want to fucking take them over.
I want to tell you the stories that I am always telling myself. And I want you to believe them. I want to tell them in such a way that you don't even realize you're being told. I want to be a psy-ops story machine.
I'll tell stories in pieces. Backwards. I'll leave out the ending. Or the middle. You'll figure it out. It was what you were born to do. It's all you do.
I'll sew in little pieces that will connect off of other pieces, I'll circle back; I'll make echoes that could be meaning, that evolve from nothing into something.
So let's be human. Let's edit one another's minds. I'll start.

Cherry!
Crabapple!
Daffodil!
Dogwood!
Somewhat unfocused forsythia!
Grape Hyacinth!
Regular-ass Hyacinth!
Phlox! On the rocks!
Unidentified unfocused purple thing!
Redbud!
Saucer Magnolia!
Strawflower? Starflower?
Tulip!
Weeping Cherry!
Wisteria!
Hooray for all the many flowers. Spring makes me happy. Yay.

Anyone got a good tarragon-exploiting recipe? I bought a three-inch tarragon plant about a month ago and now have a jungle's worth of tarragon. The plant obviously really liked the conditions I subjected it to, but I'm afraid that if I let this go on much longer, it will start devouring small pieces of furniture and wayward pets. Basically, I must eat it before it eats me. Ideas?
