paris review

i was in the barnes & noble
i don't usually go there
but today i just got a wild hair, and that's where i ended up

i checked out the news stand
because
the way you like the newspaper
i enjoy magazines, journals really
and i haven't read a magazine since i don't know when
or read a book
i'm a little too a.d.d.
or i couldn't really see
or
something

anyway
i decided
in that sort of sudden and solid way
that sometimes overtakes me
that i want to read the paris review
like from now on
and
this issue is the 60th anniversary issue

i think i've been picking it up
and then putting it back
for 30 of those 60
enough
already
i bought it

i haven't read it yet
but
i looked to see who the interview
was mark leyner

i don't know mark leyner
and i thought it would be fun
like an awesome tie in
for my first time reading the paris review
to read a book by the interviewee
his newest [2012] is the sugar frosted nutsack

and

i think

i'm gonna like it
