What's this?

So you start one of the grate literary movements on the lounge


which will now put its stamp on the early part of the 21st century and you thought it would be about
about er, boinking?

Instead you got tales of youthful adventure, vaudevillian humor in the face of injury and death, sad, sweet tales of places, people we used to know, irony, love lost, the rights of passage in the face of uncontrollable nature, young daring and stupid, the sweet beauty and terrifying danger of life as seen through windshield wipers that should have been replaced a while ago and peering...peering into that future which may or may not be beyond that gauze of snow falling down, losing connection to the very earth beneath our feet as we slowly slip and slide, car fishtailing, the ground moving and we cannot trust our senses anymore our vertebra broken, defroster not working, crashed, sprained, lost keys, wind always in your face, as you do one more run watched over by trucker angels.

Mom, I am bleeding.

Can I drop the mike now?

A cup of hot chocolate at a cafe in Roanoke when the interstates are closed is boinking my friend.
