Clerihew Thursday
Follow this link for a series of clerihews by my friend Brad.
A clerihew is a four-line biographical poem. They are characterized by a whimsical tone, and I thought maybe today we could use some whimsy. Included is this one about Dennis Cooper:
Party-pooper,
Dennis Cooper:
First violent erections…
Then, alas, vivisections.
(For the record, Brad is a big fan of Cooper’s work. Whimsy.)

Madsen has written more books of poetry (that you can check out here on his fabulous website) than Viggo Mortenson (and he doesn’t show his anus and ballsack, like Viggo did in that Cronenburg movie, and like, made me feel less hot for Viggo, seeing that. I do like Viggo. Maybe that will be another post.)

Secondly, once I saw this thing on TV about Russell Crowe and they were showing this “behind the scenes” thing and he was pretending (acting) all tough, and then they said “cut!” and he stopped acting ,and they came and fixed his hair. Like he was some girl, getting his hair fixed. Not sexy to me, acting.
