IN 1944, a children’s
book club sent a volume about penguins to a 10-year-old girl, enclosing a card
seeking her opinion.
She wrote, “This book
gives me more information about penguins than I care to have.”
American diplomat Hugh Gibson called it the finest piece
of literary criticism he had ever read.
go on... get:
Go
and get a job. Go and find a flat. Find somebody else. Put them in the flat.
Make them stay. Get a toaster. Go to work. Get on the bus. Look at your boss. Say,
“fuck”. Sit down. Pick up the thing. Go blank. Scream internally. Go home.
Listen to the radio. Look at the other person. Think, “WHY? Why did this
happen?”. Go to bed. Lie awake! At night! Get up. Feel groggy. Put the things
on - your clothes - whatever they’re called. Go out the door, into work - same
thing! Same people, again, it’s real, it is happening, to you. Go home again!
Sit, Radio, Dinner - mmm, GARDENING, GARDENING, GARDENING, death!
