The path up is the path down. The way forward is the way back. The universe inside is outside but the universe outside is inside.

Yesterday evening you saw Henry struggle the entire way up The Nut (in Stanley), this fine evening you can see the despicable shortcut that his brother and mother took. We still won.

The boys i mean are not refined

This side of the black stump. Somewhere on the Forestier Peninsula. February 2013. I'm not certain if I'm refined or not. On the matter of girls who buck and bite, well, I think that they have their charms... the boys i mean are not refined , e e cummings The boys i mean are not refined They go with girls who buck and bite They do not give a fuck for luck They hump them thirteen times a night One hangs a hat upon her tit One carves a cross on her behind They do not give a shit for wit The boys i mean are not refined They come with girls who bite and buck Who cannot read and cannot write Who laugh like they would fall apart And masturbate with dynamite The boys i mean are not refined They cannot chat of that and this They do not give a fart for art They kill like you would take a piss They speak whatever's on their mind They do whatever's in their pants The boys i mean are not refined They shake the mountains when they dance

What We Talk About When We Talk About Anne Frank , Nathan Englander: An uneven collection of short stories that (largely) explores modern Jewish identity. Some of the stories completely failed for me, but when he hits - as he does in the powerful "Free Fruit for Young Widows" - Englander manages to widen the historical and ethical perspective and set the full, intractably complex burden of the Middle East conflict on the reader's shoulders.

There is nothing which we receive with so much reluctance as advice.

That's right. We've been using Henry as bait for the infamous Blue Ringed Octopus...
