#THINGSIDIDNTTWEETATAWP
These are things I didn’t tweet while walking around AWP like a zombie (typos included):
mostly white people
everyone is Urban Outfitted
prevalent attitude of bemused detachment
Brandon Downing is everywhere
Dan Magers said it’s like he’s been eating “battery acid and alcohol water”
this is the worst way to see friends
I’m not going to this next year
Bunch of dudes at this NYU party look like Jason Swartzman in BOred to Death.
knobs
furtively farted in a group of NYU students but maintained a look of placid innocence (I think one woman noticed)
CHicago is pretty raad. Go Patriots!
I think I’m eating cat food
just ran into blank over by the blank blank table. He seems really blank. I bet he gets tons of blank.
I hate all your scarves
dear Future Ben Mirov: shut the fuck up
this poem would be nominally improved if Woody Harelson were reading it
Every time I see Melissa Broder we smash cheeks awkwardly because I forget to give her a peck. I feel like it’s become “our thing”.
Ate an Italian Beef at Al’s Beef: my colon is a warzone
saw Mark Liedner across the room at a reading and thought “there can only be one” al la Highlander
day 4: everyone’s feelings are hurt
Hahaha if you ever see me here when I’m fifty and I’m hitting on undergrads kill me sorry I didn’t mean that yes i did
Think I saw Jordan Castro, but it might have just been some dude with chocolate on his face.
never have I so badly wished for the zombie apocalypse to strike as when I was walking through the bookfair today
Accidentally blocked C.D. Wright on her way to the bathroom. didn’t realize it was C.D. Wright until lily Ladewig told me. Realized I had always pictured C.D. Wright as approx. 8′ tall
just talked to blank at the bar for like blank minutes. I think she thought I was blanked but I just took too many blanks
At a reading. Super exicted to see the new episode of Archer
I love Jason Bredle
POETS ARE SO SENSITIVE
no comment
Fuck Twitter
I also love Jason Bredle
fucking poets
recurring thought i had while reading this:: who’s ben mirov?
this is insipid
woah hey this is also a list of things I didn’t tweet at awp
“my colon is a warzone”
that’s funny shit
i never got to meet ben mirov.
I often think that to myself
AWP fail. Next time, I hope.
You probably couldn’t tweet this shit because the reception there was shitty. #crankyoldmantweets
Also–Elizabeth Ellen: Get a clue! Mirov is king!!
hilarious
lol @ day 4: everyone’s feelings are hurt
Perhaps you didn’t get the memo from Jonathon, but TWITTER IS RUINING LITERATURE AND DESTROYING AFUCKINGMERICA, so your grandchildren’s grandchildren thank you for passing sound literary principles on from your grandparents’ grandparents, Ben.
you’re welcome and what?
Awkward White People
I LOVE TO LOVE! On that we agree, Lovelace, er, leapsloth14.
In Chicago I found out that Ben Mirov is a guy who makes timescapes with words.
thanks for listening. You made my night.
