Wealth takes many forms, and sometimes it shows up as stanzas.

Dr. Dog - “The Rabbit, the Bat, and the Reindeer”
I’m getting it back with that terrible feeling
My vision is cracked, but it looks like it’s healing
I’m getting it back like it’s four in the morning
When the sun only shines as if it’s giving a warningI will always reblog this song.

Hey everyone,
drive safely, okay? Two sort of upsetting stories today about friends/colleagues in car accidents. So be careful, because I don’t want to hear any more. That’s an order.

Realism
Take this test. When you read “These dishes have been sitting in the sink for days,” do you think (a) This is an indicator of my inner weather, or (b) Why don’t they do the dishes? Does the phrase “I’m going as far away from here as my broken transmission will get me, and then I’ll take it from there” make you think (a) Somebody understands me, or (b) Why don’t they stay and talk it out? What is more visually appealing, (a) a Pall Mall butt floating in a coffee mug, or (b) those new Pop Art place mats in the Crate & Barrel catalog? If you answered (a), do we have a genre for you.Recommended for: The rumpled, drinky.
Colson Whitehead helps you write your next novel, from Sunday’s NYT Book Review. (via damndanm)
I love Colson Whitehead beyond words. Especially his advice on how to write Social Realism: “You: A canny observer in a white suit and a fine cravat. The Culture: Just waiting for someone to explain it to itself. When these two krazy kidz get together, it’s zeitgeist!”

"Cornell's White Nights," by Charles Simic
Insomnia is an all-night travel agency with posters advertising faraway places. Thee the sea is always blue and so is the sky. A little white hotel with green shutters waits for you, each one of its rooms “a thing of twilight, bluish and roseate.”
Like a traveler weary of his journeying, you undress with the window open. The setting sun wears a red turban. The sea is dark blue. In the lush garden swallows are darting. When the night finally falls, veiled Scheherazade will bring mint tea to your bed.
In the meantime, silence and your shadow on the bare wall.Posted on November 4, 2009 with 9 notes
