this is a bit aside from what you want (sorry!) but there's a bit in Peter Stallybrass's "Against Thinking" where he talks about the difference between thinking and working that i find to be a great description of how i thought i should be writing vs what i do now

I generally endorse poetry bumper stickers, but no. Exactly the opposite.

want to spice up your night life?

i recommend referring to taking two mucinex (because your kid gave you a cold) as "ridin' the mooses."

@tracelarkhall.bsky.social Oscar sent the plushy dinosaur named after you to my class because she "wanted to learn about Shakespeare." I very gently told him about someone named Anthony Munday and suggested that his toy might prefer a different playwright.
