cherish the zombie years

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Tokyo, 2009.07.31

A friend, reading the blow-by-blow on these, our "zombie" years.

"Careful, because once you get through the zombie stage

(depending on the kid) you may find you miss it.

Here's a bit of poetry my son was singing the other day at breakfast.

It's not my fault

It's not my fault

It's not my fault

It's in my penis

It's right

and it's bad

it's not a merry go around

around

around

not a word was touched - this is verbatim, I swear. [Leonard] Cohen eat your heart out."
