10 mil, bro? The ceiling of a ‘serious author”s potential net worth is 10 mil, it seems. Do kids investing their monies into grad school to learn to type good know about that? I imagine guy owns a lot of Abercrombie and Fitch stock. Does Abercrombie sell stock? Maybe Baby Gap. I don’t know. What do you guys think Franzen’s biggest asset may be? Where would you, a serious author, invest all that money to grow it into enough money to end up even higher in the ranks on celebrity worth dot com?

I just now realized the volume indicator on my computer appears embedded into the screenshot. Was I turning up or turning down?

It’s Friday, fuck books, listen to Discordance Axis.

“Publish work you do not understand. Stop sending messages that say ‘We absolutely loved this, but can’t quite wrap our heads around it.’ Take it around. Stop coveting. Stop having dinner in a glossy photo album. Nudge over in your mind that anyone wants you to billboard a new story by Richard Bausch or Joey Lawrence whoever else. Don’t be afraid to take a shit. Stop worrying about where things are headed. Stop looking for the next twitter, or the current twitter.”

I think
I am
averse
to long
left-aligned
and
narrow
poems written
like this
I think
because I
think line
breaks mean
something
and I
don’t see
much meaning
in these
I think

I am
averse to
publishing
long
left-aligned
and narrow
poems
arranged
like this
in
print
because it
seems

like a
waste
of
paper
and if
you submit
one to
me, like
the ice bucket
challenge
made me think
‘oh no, the
environment,
the drought,
the waste,’
then I
will probably
try to
edit
your
long
left-aligned
and narrow
line break
riddled
poem
into some
prose.
