By comparison, Walt WHITMAN’S last words were supposedly just as fitting: “Lift me up, I have to shit.”
(via drbirdsadviceforsadpoets)This is so Whitman.

Just finished this book. I am wowed. This was the first book I ever read written by someone whose voice I actually know. A voice that could read it in my head. Really cool. And on top of that it was really great and beautiful. I quoted it at length on my Twitter under the hash tag #yawp.
