Don't be a clown. Or do. It's all about the depending.

Listen as Leonard Cohen tells us what is embarrassing and not-right about those who read to us. Let me not fail him.

I look good when I'm tired (he said so),

What did you last ask in a graveyard? What is the perfume you love? Have you, a poor man, entered a woman of means? And do we all agree that good things are most likely NOT on their way?

How much toilet paper do you keep in the house? Do you use HP60 ink cartridges? Is it ok that this is all about me? Did I warm your heart in San Antonio?

With love, Robyn and Mark

"The world poured back and forth between their eyes once or twice." Autobiography of Red by Anne Carson is in my list of the Top 5 Books I'd Recommend to Absolutely Anyone. It's tragic, obsessive love. It's cruelty and confusion. It's brave and brilliant. And dear Geryon is the most lovable main character I've ever read. And the structure of this book - A NOVEL IN VERSE - perfection.

GOD LOVES LOLA,
Robyn

p.s. so sorry for the horrible German pronunciations!

There are clouds overhead, there are people whose fathers are dead, there are crime novelists writing poetry and those people sometimes die of cancer. There is this. And there is that. And there is you and there is me.

Restless desires & unnerving fears,
