Giuliani's Hatred Of Ferrets →
Giuliani is nuts. This is the craziest example I’ve heard (outside of The Corrections) of using therapeutic language to shut somebody down.
“It is enough that the arrows fit exactly in the wounds they have made.”

“The rewards for being sane may not be very many but knowing what’s funny...”

Forgetfulness
The name of the author is the first to go
followed obediently by the title, the plot,
the heartbreaking conclusion, the entire novel

never even heard of,
as if, one by one, the memories you used to harbor
decided to retire to the southern hemisphere of the brain,
to a little fishing village where there are no phones.
Long ago...
