What One Wants To Do With Stories

I Publish A Piece In Order To Kill It, So That I Won't Have To Fool Around With It Any Longer.

I Hate Ideologies Of All Kinds, So I Avoid Jargon. I've Done Enough Philosophy To Know That Some Specialized Terms Are Really Needed. I Don't Complain When Kant Does It.

It Hasn’t Violet’s Rapid Sexual Shudder Or Like A Rough Road The Irregularity Of Ultramarine, The Low Puddle In Mauve Like A Pancake Covered In Cream, The Disapproving Purse To Pink, The Assertive Brevity Of Red, The Whine Of Green.
