Insomnia Diary by Bob Hicok
4.0
A "few" favorite lines:
"[I]f I give a job to one stomach other/forks are naked."--"Calling him back from layoff"
"All the while feeling air's/a quilt of tongues, that spaces/between words are more articulate/than words."--"Bars poetica"
"But what sadness/pushes stars to suicide? In truth/they're rocks, we call them stars/to speak kindly of the dead."--"Meteor shower"
And what I need printed on something or at least on hand to quote in the future:
"My contribution/to the common good is playing/with the alphabet in a little room/while the world goes foraging/for food."--"Truth about love"
