When Words Drown Me With Love



I think Rilke might be curing me of atheism, though e.e. cummings certainly makes it palatable. I believe that Whitman makes hard truths more beautiful even, and I still turn to Plath like a moth to flame, and then turn away at the last minute. I just don't love Sedaris, though he really is funny, but then what?

If I was trapped in an elevator for hot sex and good conversation I'd want Bacall with me, but John Cameron Mitchell would get my sympathy vote.
