I now find apples overly acidic. But I LOVE Vivekananda.

Love the heroin line. Terrific piece because of the images and rhythms you create, plus your honesty and humor.

Glad to hear it. As usual, I have to give heroin all the props.

"Nerve endings had the nerve to never end" is for sure one of the punchiest opening lines I've seen in many a day.

A great piece, Bradley: lyrical, sincere, and also ironic and witty. Have you cracked the Foster Wallace dilemma of sincerity vs irony? If so, someone should be told.

I don't know if I've cracked the Wallace dilemma yet. It doesn't help that I view my existence with something straddling both irony and sincerity.
