Favorite Quote:
"For I am an engine and I'm rolling on / Through endless revisions to state what I mean / For sweetness alone who flew out through the window / And landed back home in a garden of green" - Jeff Mangum, "Engine"


For Kurt Cobain:

She sees your glasses in the corner.
You never really warned her
But she always knew, a little.

Too much time to think,
Too little to talk.
But you think there’s nothing to say.

Polyphony, polyphonic
Use the polly phone.

What did the D in your name stand for?
Disappointment, Death, Doom, or
Dad. Maybe a dead dad. Don’t.

You are a paradox
But that doesn’t mean they don’t
Like you.
(But they didn’t.)

Wasted again.


The author's comments:

Inspired by Nirvana's "Scentless Apprentice" and the way Kurt Cobain always signed off on letters as "Kurdt."
