I like how this one suddenly turns on its ear.

If this is one of the TSPI, I'd have to say that this one reminds me of Jim Carroll a little bit. I read it, and for some reason I was transported back to when I saw him do a reading in 2001.

This is a Terrible Short Poem. By the way, I'll be reading this and other paperdummy comics at a "comics reading" the night before Zine Fest in July. Details to follow.

Well, since it reminds me of one of my literary heroes, I would not say it's all that terrible.

You should find a copy of the original Book Of Nods. It's out of print and the version that appears in Fear Of Dreaming is not quite the same.

Speaking of when I saw Jim Carroll do the reading, one highlight for me was when he read a piece about an abcess he had on his arm.

I don't know much about that, except I heard that an abscess makes the farts go "Honda."

No, the abscess was on his arm, inside the crook of his elbow.

By the way kids, don't do heroin, even if you liked The Basketball Diaries.

This one makes me cry - but I love it. I can't count how many chicks have left me because of my lousy sense of smell. My farts never bothered me, but they couldn't take it. Now it's just me, so no problem. 5

It's down to farts, is it? Asparagus farts, no doubt.

Found out that Jim Carroll passed in September. May he rest in peace.
