Three short poems from someone who is Not Lisa Jarnot and music from Neutral Milk Hotel‘s In the Aeroplane Over the Sea — now 10 and one of the best albums ever recorded. No, seriously.

Oh, turkey machines
Beside small Detroit.
Oh, three squirrels
Like turkeys I love you.
Okay, I’ll _______

James Joyce-shaped reverence
would pigeons hedgehogs chocolate climb
yarn and purple
At mile upturned
near spectacles lifting
up birds rounded
my material murmurs
Joi de human day
I hosted possums
Francais is under pass unleashed
if it is black.
Song of the Week is 10+

Hard to believe that Neutral Milk Hotel’s In the Aeroplane Over the Sea is 10years old now… easily in the top 5 rock albums of the 90s. Top 3 you say? Perhaps.
Inspired by The Diary of Anne Frank, it will more or less kick yours ass — try not to get choked up listening to “Holland 1945.” But let’s leave your crying for another day and enjoy “The King of Carrot Flowers.”

That eater bandying:
First do right
First set things
First know people
Then see right.
