farewell, old shirt

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Kokubunji, 2024.02.03

Today it is with a heavy heart that I mark the passing for a shirt from Eddie Bauer that my mother gave me circa the year 2011 -- or perhaps 2003. It just .. wore through the sleeve. I blame working from home and slouching in a chair with armrests. They don't make 'em like that anymore!

rand()m quote

Immature poets imitate mature poets steal bad poets deface what they take and good poets make it into something better or at least something different. The good poet welds his theft into a whole of feeling which is unique utterly different than that from which it is torn the bad poet throws it into something which has no cohesion. A good poet will usually borrow from authors remote in time or alien in language or diverse in interest.

—T.S. Eliot
