Can you handle the electricity generated by one million lovers embracing their shared powers simultaneously? Can you see the moon's reflection in a child's tear-soaked cheek? Can you find the right apparel at the right price? The answer to all of these questions is not "yes," per se: it lies in the semi-circular void within the word's second letter. If you are prepared to grapple with the lovely truths nestled in every egg your mother produced and shed prior your conception, you are prepared to pay $9.42 for the lies within this gorgeously rendered volume.

In this little room of sheetrock, with the empty conduits reaching out of jagged little holes, with sooty windows, with a view of the cold garbage, with a plume of a memory rising from my head like a dead black cloud of some filthy byproduct, with a stomach full of knuckles, with a dying flashlight, I was deadly.
