Craig Raine
“Begin with the soft smelted upturned heart-shaped mouth made for smiling a smile kept for kindness, tenderness, incapable of malice.

Am I going too fast for you?

The almond eyes see out through their sleepy epicanthic fold. Trusting and calm, if a flicker from slowness, a further flicker from stupidity.

Settled in slow-motion beauty, heart-breaking beauty.”
Craig Raine

Percival Everett
“I decide I'm gone go see my boy Rexall. He got Down Sinder, but he okay. In dis fucking world, he don't need no brain no way. Better not to have one.”
Percival Everett, Erasure
