You will always run away with her. You will always lose her. You will always be a fool. You will always be dead, in a city of ice, snow falling into your ear. You have already done all of this and will do it again.

Sometimes I say "the poem speaks for itself" and what I really mean is like one of those possessed puppets in a horror film.

Everything about our society today wants us to be reduced down to the shallowest slivers of ourselves possible. Sand the edges off, fit into compartments, easily sorted and solved, but we need to be thorny and wild and true if we want a better, more organic world

the booker prize judges make a lot of fuss about having to read 153 books. but assuming an average weight of 750g per book, that comes in at 115kg of literature - or just under the weight of a single adult male ostrich

frogger was the truest American video game. “Can you, an adorable remnant of wildlife, survive crossing a street?” And the answer, eventually, is always no
