“...Charlie Swashbuckled...” (Unmeaning Flattery)

Friday 06/27/2008 7:27 AM

Another poem for ya:

Breathing honeysuckled air, Charlie swashbuckled his path
across the lawn (or Gaul - had Charlie been Caesar) pausing
briefly as parasoled young ladies caterwauled, truckling
to gossip of fallen friends who fell to men who can say
“I love you” too easily or to ones who can't say it
at all. Charlie left them, chuckling from hearing them bawl.
“Alcohol neanderthals,” he chortled, “baseball is all
I need.” Content, he returned to Gaul to work on his pitch.

Nine Inch Nails "Ghosts I-IV"

36 instrumental tracks from Trent Reznor and company. Almost two hours of music. Good album. All over the map. You've got your Fear of Music song, you've got your Tones On Tail song, you've got a handful tracks that sound like outtakes from My Life In the Bush of Ghosts. Then, of course, you've got a whole bunch of sketches for (presumably) future Nine Inch Nails songs. Highly recommended — especially since you can download the whole shebang for five bucks.
