      Reader’s Block is such a cool book. I guess he thought so too, since he wrote it four more times.

      I have a spontaneous urge to wash people I meet.

      Being a poet myself, I’m not at all offended. I think he’s probably on to something. Though I need to take a shower after reading HTMLGIANT.

      poets get a lot of sex.

      it probably washes over whomever’s near and makes them feel either A) dirty or B) horny.

      Either way, a shower usually helps
