A better question might be why bother with such a dumb question.

Whenever I write about anyone (myself included), the best I can ever do is just try to be fair. You read a lot of poetry by men and women that makes it clear they're just as petty, bitter, and vindictive as the people they're complaining about, but a little empathy and self-reflection can go a long way toward transcending this hypocrisy, producing an ultimately more honest poem instead.

1) Contrary to popular belief, I do have SOME standards
2) Something to do with supply and demand
3) Pretty much knee-deep in it already

GR insurgents provide smart-alecky answers to official GR inquiries. Amazon deploys drone-fired missiles against GR insurgents.

True, unequivocally.

Gilbert Bernhardt was kind enough to lend it. Look him up on DeviantArt:

Obviously I would travel into my own books, where I would then proceed to do everything in my power to fuck them up the same way I've fucked up my own life.

About a 3-4 hour drive, depending how heavy your foot and strong your bladder.

I too want from it and always lost me out of reading and writing festivities. I'm coming from a perspective of party in front, business in back, of course with ugly old lady balloons instead. It's a tightly controlled realm, always poofy, always net, always sedimentary, always shallowly banal.
Arthur Graham
Depends whether I've got my pants half on or whole on.
Arthur Graham
Yes and yes. All writers are narcissistic, megalomaniac sociopaths, and any love they express for their readers is ultimately just another form of self worship, which evaporates just as quickly as their bogus, hollow five-star reviews.

Yes, obviously, my biggest influence is Moby Dick.

Summer reading lists are for those who make a big stinkin' whoopty-do over their seasonal reading shit.

Unfortunately, there is no known remedy for the cracker-ass honky blues, at least not for those of us born with KING1, the so-called "Elvis-hair" gene. Thus we are doomed to a life of whiskey drinking, whoring around, wearing snakeskin, and, most importantly, cracker-assing. And honkying. And bluesing, as it were.

The only mystery to me is why Goodreads insists on asking such banal, stupid questions.

Well, obviously, I'd have to fuck Morrissey circa Your Arsenal, but seeing as how Morrissey is getting all old and frumpy these days, and I don't even want to BEGIN trying to figure out the mechanics of fucking a cockroach, I guess I'd fuck you and stomp that fuckin' cockroach to death. Done. Ideally, I'd marry you, but seeing as how you're already married, I'd have to fuck old Morrissey, marry the cockroach (you can do that now thanks to the Gays), and kill your ass instead. Sorry, brah.
Arthur Graham
I don't know; why should I care? Life is pain and suffering.

Jeff, as much as I'd love to flood your feed with full-frontal, uncensored images of my bing-bong, taint, and "flabby habby babby", unfortunately this goes against the GR terms of service. Maybe I should set up some kind of webcam thing instead? Would probably make more money doing that than selling books...

My dentist IS a handsome, charming man, but everyone knows that Liquid Tide is only good for making homemade bombs. HAIL SATAN.
