“Give the poor girl a piece of bread, or a piece of pie. One ton has 2000 pounds. My friend is kind to me; he gave me this new book. The sun, the moon, and the stars are in the sky. Did you hear the cry of the boy who fell in-to the brook? No, sir, I did not. Have you found man-y nuts? No, We have not an-y. The eyes of the hawk are sharp. Sam found a young dead bird on the ground. I will not buy a doll, and give it to Jane on her birth-day. The Son of God said, Suf-fer the lit-the children to come un-to me.” -Mary Ruefle “So what is this thing I am interested in? My daimon, the imagination, of course. I could give you a long list of things I am not even vaguely interested in, but many of them would insult you for I am sure you are interested in at least some of them.” - Mary Ruefle LINKS:Buy Mary Ruefle's On Imagination here: http://www.sarabandebooks.org/all-titles/on-imagination-mary-ruefleBuy ZYZZYVA here: https://www.zyzzyva.org/issue/volume-34-3-winter-2018/Follow David Drury's VERY short story page here: https://www.instagram.com/foldedshorts/?hl=en Buy Tomas Transtromer's the great enigma here: https://www.ndbooks.com/book/the-great-enigma/Listen to Nell Carter sing here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kONFkc1PwCcListen to the Gimme a Break theme song here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmnFgKXmi7IWatch "Shattered Innocence" here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2CjXEZtgU8Me on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Robyn_ONeilMe on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/robyn_oneil/?hl=enME READING STUFF shirts available here: https://cottonbureau.com/products/me-reading-stuff#/972221/tee-men-standard-tee-vintage-black-tri-blend-s
